You and the English (4)
I believe the answer is:
thee
'you' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the english' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'the'+'e'='THEE'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for thee that I've seen before include "Old objective second person singular" , "you many years ago" , "Archaic form of 'you'" , "'U'" , "Quaker 'you'" .)
