Can't cut it out...

[Mike]

fair enough ^^ Good answer Azerane

I don't think there's anything more to it (even after reading all these theories) than one of Rafiki's bad jokes. You know he likes to do that, especially when others don't really find it amusing

...kinda like when he laid down on Kovu's back.

but <I> found that amusing =3

[SnowyCheetah]

So did <I> lol

I thought he says "can't cut it out, it great bounce", referring to the song

For the longest time I didn't even know what Rafiki was saying after "Can't cut it out!". I don't really know what to make of it. I'm thinking it might be some kind of witty remark or something like that. Then again, it could just be a really bad joke.

Good one! maybe you're right ^^

I never bothered looking deeper into that remark until now. Rafiki always came across as slightly eccentric, so I just it down to one of his eccentric jokes.

I like some of the theories presented, but I always looked at it as Rafiki deliberately taking Simba's words too literally to either annoy him, or just as a joke.

Either way, Rafiki's an awesome character

[iluvnala]

simba is talking about rafiki being stupid and telling him to stop. thats what cut it out means

rafiki is referring to his fur and if he shaved it off it would grow back

I agree with Kivuli its like saying you can cut the roses of a rose bush but theyll just come back

[Wrightfan]

It's a metaphor pretty much. The word has two meaning and Rafiki played on the one that Simba wasn't talking about to bother him.
