        British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;

        Soldier, bushing, varnish.

        Seal, seal, seal.

        Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.

        (There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)

        Thanks. English first language here and it went right over my head. But then the first was a soldier to me.

          Same, which lead me to think the second was some sort of solder pot. So, then I thought there was some word close to soldier and solder for the third picture of the paint/stain brush that I didn’t know.

          I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

    This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people, I’d say the vast majority of native English speakers would think “soldier”, not that he’s a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.

      Seems like you got hung up on that. Order shouldn’t matter.

      I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

      Same, but that made me assume the other ones have to seals as well and then the navy seal was right there.

      I think it works well as a riddle.

        Order does matter. It comepletely ruined the flow. If i had already seen seal the animal, id be much quicker to land on seal for everything

        It got me too. Even when I got to the animal seal I just assumed it was there for something else and the meme made no sense.

    I think this might work better with 4 frames since 3 of these images show items that fall under the same definition for seal since their purpose is to prevent something from getting into/out of somewhere.

      I think the singer doesn’t count either since that’s someone’s name which could be anything in any language. Also the navy seal is named after the animal. It’s 2 frames. “Seal” the animal and “seal” the keep stuff in/out

    Monolingual native English speakers are constantly being surprised about basic universal linguistic concepts, while proceeding to think it is exceptional to the only language they are familiar with.

    Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.

    They have 3 alphabets and its called a “writing system” because of it.

    That’s not fair though as navy seals are named after the animal.

    Also, you can use a word in different contexts, to seal wood and to seal something shut is similar actions
