Get the Wimmo mug.
Get the wimmed mug."The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was a 1939 African pop hit that, unexpectedly, also became quite popular in the US.
In 1952, the song was covered as an instrumental by American folk group The Weavers as "Wimoweh", a mishearing of the chorus of 'uyimbube' (meaning "he is a lion"), and again in 1959 by The Kingston Trio. For The Tokens' 1961 cover, a new set of lyrics, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight", was written by George Weiss, Luigi Creatore, and Hugo Peretti, based upon the meaning of the original song. The Tokens' version rose to number one on the Billboard charts and still receives fairly frequent replay on many American oldies radio stations. Since then, "Wimoweh"/"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" has remained popular and frequently covered in the US.
In July 2004 the song became the subject of a lawsuit between the family of its writer Solomon Linda and Disney. The suit claims that Disney owes $1.6 million in royalties for its use in the film The Lion King.

Get the wimoweh mug.One of the most sexiest beings to ever live on the planet. It is truly a one in a million chance to meet someone with such a heroic and devilishly handsome name. At first the person may seem like a wimp but he is strong physically and in heart. Treat this person with respect and you will be gifted with an eternal friendship..
Man, that Wilmo is such an alpha male.

Get the Wilmo mug.Someone who is a member of the upper to middle-class who feels the need to revert to a persona that is more stereotypically lower class. This is done normally to seem "hard" in the hopes that women would find him more attractive as the middle to upper class are completely repulsive and unattractive. The wimm often will follow the lower class customs like pitch storming at away games; asking for cigarettes (when they don't smoke) or even in more extreme circumstances drinking Strongbow Dark Fruit.
