Thy and Thine

Why do ``thy'', and ``thine'' sound so odd when used in modern English? Is it simply that we're used to using the plural ``your'' and ``yours'' in their stead, or is there some other aspect of the language missing that makes them seem odd when used without it. As an example: ``I'll pluck thy cock if I may eat some of it with you.'', or ``On second thought, my cock is meater than thine, perhaps we should share it instead.'' both sound rather odd to me.

It sounds biblical or shakespearian.

cock is indeed a strong word
it could mean
either a male chicken
or a male organ of reproduction
now the trick is to know which is which
coooooooooock

Hadn't thought of thee, if your is plural what does yourself even mean? Are we supposed to be talking to a hive mind?

Shit man, that's it. They stripped our language of the singular second-person, and created dominate one-way media distributions so that we, the dedicated listener, can't even come into the conversation outside of first-person hypotheticals or third-personal generalities. We are not hypotheticals I say! We are not generalities! We are people god-damn it and we should be addressed as such! I'm pleading with you, know what's thine!

I demande the return of the silent e. English is so muche more musical with it.
