[mactheo]

it is easy to have dons when you don't think about things that much

[joe]

I think it's just a description of the thing the words mean not a play on something entirely unrelated

they rhyme though and the walk of fame is this famous thing. irz_shrug

smog is a portmanteau of smoke and fog

Kobe.
Like “Colby”

[Ted Pikul]

Newfoundland = newly found land

[mactheo]

[mactheo]

this is a really bad one because i've chanted it but "no justice no peace" means "there will be no peace without justice," not "the police provide neither justice nor peace"

[mactheo]

[wintergreen]

when I was young I thought "no woman no cry" meant that without women there would be no reason to cry.

It's funny because there is a line in The Office where a dumb character thinks the meaning is the correct one because the writers obviously also thought the real meaning was this.

[extendedphenotype]

wait what's the real meaning of no woman no cry?

[That Demon Life]

wait what's the real meaning of no woman no cry?

It's telling a woman not to cry.

I thought the wrong way too until a few years ago, fwiw. Also my mom's terrible mother passed away when I was pretty young and I got in trouble for singing "no grandma, she die" with my sister.

......it doesn't?

[Milk]

I mean like...i mean i THINK it means that if you don't have a "woman", as in a gf, partner, wife, then you will not be crying. OF course i have never read the lyrics of this song.

But i guess you mean that without the existence of women.

Less a dondon, more of a remembered fact, but Arrested Development is about a developer who gets arrested.

Wonder if they chose the family business based on the title or vice-versa

[Kuma]

No, woman, no cry
No, woman, no cry
'Ere, little darlin', don't shed no tears
No, woman, no cry

I always thought it was “if you don’t have a woman then you’ll have no reason to cry” but the lyrics pretty clearly suggest the alternate reading.

[Kenny]

It's 100% him asking a woman not to try/trying to cheer her up

[Viz]

No Viking no sleep

also arresting the developer arrests the development

I just asked my sister if she ever noticed that the word bed is shaped like a bed and she said "duh dylan most babies notice that"

Lolol, that was a sick burn.

[grammatron]

No justice no peace is meant to have multiple interpretations.

Providing justice inherently provides peace.
If we don’t get justice, we will be violent.
You are giving neither justice nor peace.
