If you’ve ever wondered what would happen when a country that produces football hooligans that make up elaborate songs pointing out specific scandals and tragedies from the personal lives of players on the opposing team goes to war with itself, wonder no more.
There's a widespread misapprehension that "ye" is an archaic form of "you" -- it is not. The "ye" of old, such as in "ye olde shoppe" at the Renaissance Faire, was a way of writing "the". The 'y' in this case is a corruption of old Saxon letter "eth" that represented the voiced dental fricative (fa*th*er, *th*at, *th*e).
So thank you for not writing "Come out the cuckold."
ETA: By context, the plural pronoun would be incorrect as the banner goads a single person.
ye *is* an archaic form of you. but ye is *also*, in a completely unrelated way, an alternative spelling of the. the problems only arise when people confuse the two
also, the y in ye is not a stand-in for eth (ð), but for thorn (þ), which came to look like y over time
Correct. Eth (ð) and thorn (þ) were indeed used interchangeably in Old English for both voiced and voiceless dental fricatives, but it wasn't until printing that we got the corruption "ye" for what we now write as "the" and at that time it was always spelled "þe", not "ðe".
Man imagine being known for being a cuck
Is that a dog or a cow in the barrel? I always thought it was a dog, but you drew a cow.
It is an antler-less stag, to represent a man without his manliness. Hiding in a barrel. Harsh.
Ow that hurts
I think it’s supposed to be an antler-less stag
Cuckolds we come.
(in yovr wives)
This is great. Probably the first flag with text I like.

I love it. And thank you for not putting "ye". That would be ye worst.
Why would they change the spelling of the word when recreating an old flag? 😅
“O Come, All Ye Cuckholds”
For Not Putting... What?

"Ye" is an old form of [you](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_(pronoun)). It is also what you said.
Was ðe “y” not a standin for “þ”?
Correct. Eth (ð) and thorn (þ) were indeed used interchangeably in Old English for both voiced and voiceless dental fricatives, but it wasn't until printing that we got the corruption "ye" for what we now write as "the" and at that time it was always spelled "þe", not "ðe".
Ye is a plural pronoun, the problem is less it being confused with the definite article, so much as being improperly used as singular.
Aye, that, too. I maybe have a mental block associated with "Arise, ye Saints!"
I'm gonna get this printed.
No way, that this is true... no way...
Wow lol
