A DiscreditedTrope from the days of the WhiteMansBurden in works depicting [[DarkestAfrica deepest darkest Africa]], generally describing the moment before the natives rise up and overrun the compound, or [[AppeaseTheVolcanoGod abduct the white woman for sacrifice]]. Often indicated by the natives playing JungleDrums. The ''phrase'' is said to go back to the 1933 FilmOfTheBook of HGWells' ''TheIslandOfDoctorMoreau'' in which the eponymous [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Morally Ambiguous Doctor]] says this of his half-human / half-beast creations, and has since become a stock phrase for trouble brewing in a group of people. Often a prelude to being ChasedByAngryNatives. Natives, like white villagers, may take up TorchesAndPitchforks when they get restless enough to form a mob.
