I think he meant it as in "Ok so if everything the the light touches is our kingdom, who does the shadow place belong to".

[–]aequitas3 188 points189 points ago

It belongs to the retard hyena and his boss, future coat of Hercules.

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 198 points199 points ago

Simba comes from Swahili simba meaning "lion," from Proto-Bantu *cimba of the same meaning.

Scar comes from Greek ἐσχάρα (eskhara) meaning "hearth" but also "scab formed after a burn." The original sense in English was a 'scab after a burn' just as in Greek, but the sense of the word shifted due to influence from Old Norse skar, meaning a cut in stone or a shard from rock.

[–]derkajihad 126 points127 points ago

You know, the root of the word Miller is a Greek word. Miller come from the Greek word milo, which is mean apple, so there you go. As many of you know, our name, Portokalos, is come from the Greek word portokali, which mean orange. So, okay? Here tonight, we have, ah, apple and orange. We all different, but in the end, we all fruit.

This is from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Sad fact about the film is that apparently it made a loss, despite being a low-budget independent film (5 million dollars) that grossed 370 million dollars world-wide due to the fact that it slowly gained popularity after its release.

In the end, that makes the film a massive success in the light of its initial release numbers and budget, but the creative accountants at Hollywood made sure they could take a nice undeserved slice of the profit.

I was saving some steps, but if you want the full route I suppose I can oblige:

I get massive downvotes but few people actually comment to let me know why. Once in a while someone will say something like, "lol wut is dis shit?" or "God, I hate novelty accounts."

I can certainly understand their frustration with novelty accounts. I admit they tend to slow down a thread's conversation, so I certainly take that into consideration. But to those who r leik dude wtf is dis shit? I could not give a proper fuck :)

[–]failed_novelty 8 points9 points ago

Ironically, people bitching about novelty accounts are much more detrimental to a good conversation than actual novelty accounts.

I'm a meta novelty account - I'm not clever or witty enough to be an actual novelty account, and I'm not desperate enough to be a stupid novelty account, so I'm a failed novelty account. I use it as my main account, and act like it isn't a novelty account.

So I'm not sure if I'm a very, very clever meta novelty account, or just a monkey at a keyboard.

I'm sorry, but Simba comes from Simba Chips , started in 1956 in South Africa.

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 16 points17 points ago

Can you back that up with a reference? Simba is actually a common English-Swahili name for a fearless warrior, just as the Europeans call their heroes 'lions.' For instance, the South African publication Drum in its 3 September 1976 writes, "Has Amin now recognised his weakness? What does he now think and say? Does he still claim to be the simba of Africa?" Or Burrough's 1918 classic Tarzan contains the line, "The strange white man must certainly succumb to terrible Simba."

[–]mrs_gordonlevitt 4 points5 points ago

How do you know all this?!

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 19 points20 points ago

I don't! Well, sometimes I do, but in this case I only knew that "scar" came from eskhara (I'll just omit the Greek lettering to make things easier).

So what's my secret? I know where to look and I live with a bunch of linguists. I'm just an amateur myself, but I steal their books and read them. The Proto-Bantu reconstruction was hard because the University of California - Berkeley's online dictionary of Proto-Bantu is down -- fortunately there is still a copy of a few of the words on Wikipedia, including simba/cimba.

Besides that? I don't know. I just know a lot of languages so I can usually guess.

[–]pxrage 5 points6 points ago

[–]bewbsrkewl 0 points1 point ago

Mufasa is a eponym derived from the ancient Bantu word 'mutaafasa' which, of course, means 'mother fucker'

[–]flappity 0 points1 point ago

Scar's real name is Taka, which is Swahili for "dirt", "trash", or "want". (via TLK Wiki)

[–]idgitAhole 0 points1 point ago

Might also be from the Sanskrit word "Simha" which means lion..Proof

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 15 points16 points ago

Yeah, but simba from an African language, Swahili, is a lot more parsimonious than siMha from an Indo-Iranian language, Sanskrit.

[–]idgitAhole 3 points4 points ago

Check this out

This puts the origin of the Swahili language at around the Second Century AD, and also says it might have borrowed words from other Asiatic/African languages...

Sanskrit has been prevalent in the Indian Subcontinent before that time..So the original root of the word might be Sanskrit

[–]hangingonastar 1 point2 points ago

Except that a proto-Bantu root makes a lot more sense given that other Bantu languages have similar words for lion and did not borrow nearly as many words from other languages as did Swahili.

[–]idgitAhole -1 points0 points ago

All I'm saying is..maybe some guy from the Indian subcontinent who knew a bit of Sanskrit swam across the Indian ocean thus ending up in Africa..As soon as he sets foot on Africa, a lion decides to make a meal out of him and he shouts out 'Siimmhaaaaaaaa' before dying a gruesome and pathetic death..

Maybe some nearby native witnessed this incident and after having taught the murdering lion a lesson, decided to call the golden creature 'Simba' after the guy who just got tore up to shreds..

Possible right?

[–]oer6000 0 points1 point ago

So they just called lions "that thing" before then?

[–]DJBBlanxx 1 point2 points ago

Can you enlighten me on using the word parsimonious? The definitions I found all referred to stinginess or frugality.

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 8 points9 points ago

That's the original meaning. An alternate meaning is, essentially, the simplest argument. The implication is from Occam's Razor that the argument that does not multiply entities beyond necessity is probably the correct explanation. Observe its use in the 2002 publication of the American Midland Naturalist, the Vol. 197, University of Notre Dame:

The most parsimonious explanation for this phenomenon is that fire intensity and extent was reduced in grazed grasslands.

By the way, Occam's Razor is oft called the lex parsimoniae "the law of parsimony."

[–]r1a 0 points1 point ago

It's definitely from Swahili, where "simba" means lion. I'm saying this because many other Swahili words are used, like "rafiki" which means friend, and "hakuna matata" which means no problems (not no worries!).

[–]paulmclaughlin 0 points1 point ago

You might have it the wrong way around. Lions don't come from India.

[–]idgitAhole 0 points1 point ago

Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.

I think we can safely assume that lions were widespread throughout the world. Hunting thinned them out in most areas..

[–]RoFox 10 points11 points ago

Also, technically, he said "everything the light touches" not "only what the light touches", so the dark part could still be a part of their kingdom. Simba's question is legitimate and his father sucks at logic.

[–]The3rdWorld 5 points6 points ago

i foresee problems when someone from the dark lands builds a house somewhere at dawn when the shaddow is longer then Simba's officials come to collect taxes during the high point of the day...

I'm fine with reposts. As I downvote this, there were about 556 people who enjoyed it. But the watermark from muffin comics was removed. More comics like this can be found here. http://www.muffincomics.com/

[–]joeldavis 4 points5 points ago

Good thing you're fighting for recognition of someone else's copyright infringement.

[–]cynischism -1 points0 points ago

Thanks, wolfbriar. I'm the original creator of this comic.

And yeah, it's just Disney images with captions put on top of them. But it's not like I made any money off of doing this. Whenever I see this thing on Reddit, I try to say, "Hey, I made that." And I just get a bunch of assholes saying HEY COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

But it still sucks to come up with a joke and have people steal it. A joke that obviously people think is funny since it gets stolen all the time. I don't make comics anymore so it doesn't really matter, but still. It would nice if half the people on Reddit weren't enormous jackasses about it every time I try to take credit for my work.

I'm guessing it had the most points because it was the first time (at least in a while)

Being fair, reddiquette says not to repost unless you think it didn't get enough attention last time.

Should I just go through all posts that have the punch line in the title and resubmit? Does that honestly make it all ok?

I know it's useless Internet points, and some haven't seen it, but seriously, a quick check on karma decay before posting would tell you it's a repost.

I kind of feel like an asshole, but I don't get it. Should I have seen The Lion King to get it, or is it just not that funny? Someone care to explain?

[–]adrift98 1 point2 points ago

I kinda get it. The moral is something like "don't ask stupid questions". The point of the submission, though, is to reap karma over a much beloved mid-90s Disney cartoon that I guess a lot of the posters on this forum grew up with. I don't really get the fanaticism for it, but then again I was a senior in High School when the film came out, so it was a bit after my time.

[–]hoddap 1 point2 points ago

Yeah I was a bit old for it too, so I missed out on most 90's Disney movies as well. Guess it's just not funny then. But it's been reposted a million times. Still confused, even though I "get it" now :|

Thanks for your explanation nonetheless good sir.

[–]omnilynx 1 point2 points ago

The first two panels are literal quotes from the movie. The last panel points out that Simba's response is a little thick. It's poking fun at a popular childhood hero.

[–]guitarguy109 12 points13 points ago

I honestly think it's ridiculous when parents crack down on perfectly reasonable questions like this...

[–]DisjointUnion 20 points21 points ago

Logically, whoever created this is committing a fallacy.

Note that the statement "Everything the light touches is our kingdom", does NOT imply that "Everything the light does not touch is not our kingdom".

Indeed, the Kingdom could encompass both "everything the light touches", and some of "everything the light does not touch".

You could argue that Mufassa is defining the scope of the Kingdom, and as such this second statement is subtextually implied, but I would answer that the whole point of the joke hinges on being precise about the logical meaning of your statement.

[–]nfwqjefbwq 4 points5 points ago

On the other hand, Mufasa would be violating Grice's maxim of quantity, and also possibly the maxim of manner, if he stated that "everything the light touches is our kingdom" when in fact the kingdom extended beyond the light.

[–]DisjointUnion 0 points1 point ago

Thanks for the link, I hadn't heard of these maxims before, but the concepts they describe seem very relevant.

I agree that everyday communication often uses these maxims instead of making tedious logically precise statements (and that's not a problem).

However, the premise of the comic seems slightly feeble if you point out that Mufasa's statement was not logically precise - it means there is a valid, alternative interpretation of what he said, so his annoyance towards Simba is unwarranted.

Or would you go so far as to suggest that the conventional use of the maxims is strong enough to render invalid any alternative interpretation that requires them to be violated (in an everyday context)?

[–]nfwqjefbwq 1 point2 points ago

Or would you go so far as to suggest that the conventional use of the maxims is strong enough to render invalid any alternative interpretation that requires them to be violated (in an everyday context)?

I think I would. Obviously we can't rely on the maxims in every situation; it's heavily context-dependent, which is why we often resolve ambiguities in everyday speech by asking directly for confirmation. This is a matter of individual assessment. By mine, I'd say it's reasonable to assume the kingdom stops at the boundaries of the light. But I don't think that means Mufasa's annoyance is warranted - I think Simba's question was more like "What's the deal with the shadowy place?" rather than "So the kingdom extends to the shadowy place, right?"

Anyway, to return to my original point, there are definitely situations in which the conventional use of the maxims is strong enough to render invalid any alternative interpretation. Here's one:

A man is lost in the country. He sees a farmer and a dog by a fence, and stops to ask the farmer for directions. Before approaching the fence, he asks the farmer, "Does your dog bite?" The farmer responds, "No." When the man approaches the fence, the dog lunges at him and bites him on the leg. The man says, "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!" The farmer says, "He doesn't bite. That's not my dog."

In this case, the farmer's response to "Does your dog bite?" violates Grice's maxim of relation in such a way that he's basically at fault for what happens.

Ah, and how misguided the path to knowledge and truth can become. We can lead kids down this path, do and follow such because these are things we tell you. But with Simba asking what about those places you didn't speak of Mufasa can open the dialogue, the exploration of truth.

It's important for parents to open these pathways of thought at an early age to provide the proper framework for those kind of problem solving skills from an early age. It's good to try and teach such abstract concepts so young.

such a fucking repost it blows my mind you are getting away with this.

Well, since you can see it it obviously means that the light IS touching the shadowy area. The only difference is that the light from the sun isn't directly "hitting" the surface because it has to be reflected first.

The implied question is "Why is the shadowy place not a part of our kingdom?"

When I first learned to ride on two wheels, I was not allowed to ride in the street. I couldn't really blame my mom in retrospect, two kids in the neighborhood got hit by cars within a week that fall. Well, I rode into the street through my two older brothers and friends throwing the football in the street. My rather large brother ran to catch a pass, ran right through me. Pavement never tasted so dry. It wasn't a car, but goddamn it felt like one.
