| I think this is pretty obscure. I'd never have got this. |

| Unfortunately I'd have to agree.
I had to look up what it even meant in the first place and it turns out that there are several definitions.
I'm assuming this is the horse racing one? |

| Don't know what this triple crown is, but in the UK it is won in Rugby Union by one of the following ( England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales ) when beating the other 3 in the 6 nations Championship  |

| I show full respect to this figure applied to relate the common term used to acknowledge of triple victory of the horse race that brings me to mind of my isolated intervention of my teacher's circculum and interbased teaching methods of when I used to distribute my knowledge to fellow peers by using a combination and arrangment of words to teach the student body of the rombicosidodeckahedron. Good times...good times... |
