Yes of course Im being hyperbole, tough Norman French I would assume is Old Norse and French combined somehow considering the Normans were French? (Genuinly curious) Even the name England literally means Meadowcountry in scandinavian countries

There are some Scandinavian terms that come into English via French but no, French still is the second largest influx of words into English, and OE still makes up a majority of words. Norman French wasn’t really a combination of ON and OF, although certainly ON made an impact.
