minus-squareilinamorato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoThe meme is Monty Python’s version of King Arthur. I totally believe they would switch it around for the joke. It might not be grammatically the same, but it’s thematically correct.
‘Thy’ means ‘Your’.
Specifically the singular version of your. You used to be plural version only.
*Thou then
That would make it “Take ‘you’ money”.
Thine.
Meine
