Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A Discredited Trope from the days of the White Man's Burden in works depicting deepest darkest Africa, generally telling the moment before the natives rise up and overrun the compound, or abduct the white woman for sacrifice. Often indicated by the natives playing Jungle Drums. The phrase is said to go back to the 1933 Film of the Book of H. G. Wells' The Island of Doctor Moreau in which the eponymous Morally Ambiguous Doctor says this of his half-human / half-beast creations, and has since become a stock phrase for trouble brewing in a group of people. Often a prelude to being Chased by Angry Natives. Natives, like white villagers, may take up Torches and Pitchforks when they get restless enough to form a mob. |
