• The unusual album title is a reference to a 1976 anthropological documentary Ongka's Big Moka: The Kawelka of Papua New Guinea, which was much shown in university anthropology departments in the mid-1990s, around the time when the band members would have been attending.
• The phrase 'Achilles Heel' is used to describe somebody's small but potentially damaging weakness It is derived from the tale of Achilles, the great hero of the Iliad, who was taken by his mother Thetis by the heel and dipped into the River Styx. The intention was to make him invulnerable, but the heel in her hand remained dry making it his one weak spot. Achilles was eventually killed by an arrow wound in the heel.
