      Please don't slander( bad words) or slander acronyms like lma* it's a sin against God it says in Psalm 101:5 "Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy.Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure."
      Matthew 12:36 ESV "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak."
      1 Peter 3:16 ESV "Having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame."
      Proverbs 10:18 ESV "The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever utters slander is a fool."
      James 4:11 ESV "Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge."
      Exodus 20:16 ESV
      “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."
      2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
      Titus 3:2 ESV "To speak evil of no one, to avoid quarreling, to be gentle, and to show perfect courtesy toward all people."
      Matthew 5:11 “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account."
      1 Peter 2:1 ESV "So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander."
      Proverbs 16:28 ESV "A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends."
      Ephesians 4:31-32 ESV
      "Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

    What does a wimoweh mean?
    "Wimoweh" is a mishearing of the original song's chorus of "Uyimbube"… Zulu for, 'You are a lion'. The song we know as "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" or as "Wimoweh" was was written in the 1920s by Solomon Linda a South African singer of Zulu origin. The name of the song was "Mbube" which is Zulu for "lion"

    My grandmother bought me this song in 1961. We were walking around in Boston, and I kept singing this song. She took me to a music store and asked me to tell the storeowner the song I wanted. I didn't know the name, so I sang "a weem away o weem away". The guy knew the song and my grandmother bought it for me. The Lion Sleeps tonight was the first 45 I ever owned.

      I heard a horror story about this:
      A hunter got lost in the woods and found an empty cabin. With nowhere else to go and the night approaches,he decided to stay for the night. As he was about to sleep,he noticed dozens of creepy paintings staring menacingly at him. Tho creeped out,he ignored it and eventually got to sleep. When he woke up the next morning,he noticed there were no paintings in the cabin; just dozens of windows.
