(My assumption being that English is a 2nd language for you...) If you're referring to the "Mr. Late" and "late Mr.", it's a play on words. "Mr." being a male title in English, and the dead are sometimes referred to as "the late Mr. Smith" (why is a lifelong mystery to me). So it's better to be the guy that's late ("Mr. Late") rather than speed down a dangerous road and be dead ("the late Mr. Smith").
Tangent: Mozilla just changed the name of its new brotli feature tag, because the "BRO" abbreviation was deemed sexist.
