Hakuna Matata

It means no worries!  When I came to Africa, I was worried about saying this phrase too much because I figured that it was a stupid American thing to say because all we know of Africa, we learned from The Lion King.  After being here a while and hearing many people who haven't even heard of The Lion King tell me Hakuna Matata, I feel a lot more secure belting out the song after they say it.  My guess now is that The Lion King was inspired by a common phrase after someone visited Africa
