TIL the title “Maori king” is misleading. He was the king of certain Maori tribes, not the king of all Maori.
I understood it to mean he is a king that happened to be Māori
Do other tribes recognise someone else in a similar role?
So he’s “a Maori King” and it has been contracted in the title just like in “Florida man eats own face after setting crocodile on fire”.
Don’t you dare imply that it’s not the same Florida Man.
I actually implied it wasn’t the same crocodile.
TIL the title of this article is similarly misleading. He didn’t spend 18 years on the crapper either.
