When I was a child, I spoke like a child. Now I am a man and I speak like the King of England!

English is three different languages in a trench coat. It’s all borrowed to some degree.

Three languages?

  1. Anglo German (aka old English)
  2. French
  3. Norwegian/Danish?

Not sure what the third one is. You could make an honest argument for a number of languages to be number 3.

I don't think it is literal 3, just a play on 3 X in a trench coach. I think I always see the meme as 3 of something but I am not sure.

If you're going to make these extremely complicated jokes, maybe you should explain the joke as well just in case an idiot like me comes along lol

I am not the original commenter, I am just sharing my interpretation

So you're saying it's a conspiracy?
