T-Rex: English has a lot of phrases in it that we straight-up lifted from other languages! And just as you wouldn't download a car so too would you not steal a phrase, yes?
T-Rex: YES??
T-Rex: So now MY English is gonna TRANSLATE these phrases!
T-Rex: For example, we talk about "l'esprit de l'escalier" for when you think of a zinger too late. But not me! Now I'll say, "Aw, I thought of a zinger too late, it was a total GHOST OF THE STAIRCASE."
T-Rex: Literal translations, baby! They're literally the best!
Utahraptor: So instead of hors d'oeuvres, you'll eat li'l snacks "outside the body of work [of the large meal]"?
T-Rex: Yes!!
T-Rex: I'll take my pie not "a la mode" but "in the style" and if someone's giving me carte blanche to do something, now they're just giving me white card to do it. Whatever that means!! This new project will be my means of resistance!!
Off panel: ...Ah. "Pièce de résistance".
T-Rex: Look dude, you gotta stop translating me or the larger culture will never change
