On Tuesday, Lady Gaga had a nagging question: “What’s fortnight?” The Oscar-winning singer asked her legion of Twitter followers the question, most of whom supposedly meant Fortnite, the massively popular video game, which was suddenly, though temporarily, erased on Sunday.

A game for gigantic losers who can’t play football. I’m a youth football coaching legend, and I once wrote “Loser” in sharpie on a player’s forehead for saying Fortnite in my presence.

…that’s a loaded comparison, Fortnite is to gaming, what a can of Pringles is to dinner.

Dictionary.com did not, however, want to take the chance that Gaga referred to a “fortnight” for a span of two weeks.
