The haka is basically >Hey, look we're intimidating
But the enemy tribe also does a haka so both tribes know it's just performative.
Super cringe.

Honestly I'm not sure why but when I was younger I always thought the term cuckold was an insult that only the weak would use in reference to someone. Turns out that's not the case lol

You ever see two guys just circle each other outside a night club banging their chests and shouting threats but dont fight. The haka is just that for ooga boogas but they pretend it's high art.
