Explaining Things

[qwertz6607 140]

Alright, this aboutta look like a real dumb question, but what in the hell happened that we hadda start explaining damn near everything in Fortnite terms?! I can't go a day without hearing some Fortnite terms now, yesterday I even say a video explaining Half-Life: Opposing Force with, guess what, yep! Damned Fortnite terms! What happened? Why do I have to now explain everything in gaming terms? 

I can't with people anymore, we're lowering the average intelligence DAILY at this point.

I've never heard anyone use Fortnite terms for anything this year, but to answer your question, I think it's simply because of Fortnite's popularity.

Because Fortnite has become so popular, especially among younger generations, you will see people using in-game phrases and terms to describe similar real-life situations.

And this isn't Fortnite specific. In my friend group, we constantly use Rocket League terms in real-life conversation because we all play Rocket League. You're probably surrounded by many, many more Fortnite players, which is why you heard Fortnite terms more.

I understand how this is annoying. I used to hate it when someone described a real-life thing with an in-game term. In my opinion, though, we shouldn't worry about it. Try thinking of all of these Fortnite references as just simple jokes instead of degradations of society. Trust me, it'll make things better. I say that from experience.

I can try to but with the amount that I hear it, it might be a bit difficult. Thanks tho.
