The title of this post left me expecting a mid-90s Jerry Seinfeld routine.

Mandalorian? It’s a kind of German almond tart, isn’t it?

Mandalorian is just an adjective for people and things from Mandalay.
Hey - check out that old Mandalorian
dude at the bar. He used to be a movie star in Mandalay in his 20’s.

I think the intent here is: ‘Mandalorian on a Delorean’, but me being a pedant can’t reconcile the fact that Boba Fett isn’t a Mandalorian. So a more appropriate image would be him leaning against a Corvette so we could have ‘Fett on a Vette’.

Ah yes, how could I have forgotten the classic chorus of:
My backpack’s got jets. Well I’m Boba the Fett.
Well I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt to finance my 'Vette.

Are they working for an app? I mean, a disruptive bounty hunting app called Headhuntrz?

I figured it was a typo for Mandolinian. As in Nic Cage’s Captain Corelli character was gong to have a whole series rather than just a movie.

Their backstory/culture was filled out quite a bit in the Clone Wars and Rebels cartoon series (which are both quite excellent). Jon Favreau did a voice for one of the Mandos so he’s got a long association with them.
A friend of mine who made their own Mandalorian armor and marches with the 501st at fan events is extremely happy with all of the tidbits of Mandalorian culture shown in the show, but he knows way more about this stuff than me.

Great, now I’m going to be imagining David Ginola as a Star Wars bounty hunter.
