  Can you explain the joke? It just comes across as an insult to me.

    The joke being the word used to describe people who only speak one language is an abomination composed of both greek and latin. Definitely used as an insult, but it’s a clever one.

    Although I seriously doubt OOP made that choice on purpose, so the secondary joke here is how they included a massive language blunder in the same comment as they were being a snob about languages.
