Fun Facts
There are several ideas about where this saying came from. One of them is that it is based on a wicked chieftain named Georges who resided in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti.
Someone who behaved badly would therefore find out the hard way what Georges had in store for him.
Another supposed origin is based on Hurricane Georges that struck Haiti in 1998. Those who poorly prepared for the storm would find out the hard way.
Hence, because of such events and characters based on the name Georges, the saying w ap konn Jòj" developed overtime.
