I don't see the connection to Messerschmidt

It's maybe the oldest in-joke on Languish.

Germans call a know-it-all a besserweiser.  A "better-knower" IIRC.  Some people took to calling besserweisers Messerschmidts so the besserweiser would correct them and demonstrate they are, in fact, a besserweiser.

I've been here since basically the very beginning and this is the first time I've seen this even mentioned.

Yeah, never seen it before.

Yup, Top Cat's greatest legacy joke.  :lol:
