I teach middle school so I know all the latest slang. Can't help myself though because I love to mess with them.

I always ask them about pokey man cards and fort knife. Little do they know I had Pokemon cards before they were born and I have season 1 Fortnite skins that I got before they were old enough to play video games.

I'll say, "oh you're a gamer? Do you play that fort knife game? Wait it's what? Fork Night? Is it like a Mario kind of thing? What do you do in it?"

Then after they explain I'll say, "Wow, a lot has changed since I got that OG skull trooper skin. I stopped playing because everyone was straight dog water and I got bored."

They fucking love it every time.
