A flag that learned to read, then started yelling slogans for a living.
means A long strip of cloth, paper, or pixels bearing a name, slogan, or image, hung up or stretched across something to announce, advertise, or rally.
from From Old French 'baniere,' meaning a flag or standard, which came into English in the medieval period. The deeper root is likely Late Latin 'bandum' (a standard or troop), itself possibly borrowed from a Germanic source related to 'band' — the idea of a strip of cloth that marks a group. So a banner has always been a piece of fabric that says 'we are these people, gathered here.'
