Back when I could use twitch I would find smaller streamers, and when they would name their animals I’d say “NAME YOUR (animal) BORT!!!”

Not once in 3 years of doing that has one single streamer gotten the reference. I’ve gotten several animals named Bort.

But they always laugh and say “Why Bort??? That’s a weird name…”

Then I tell them I named my son Bort. Bort is a strong name!

Sometimes other chatters will play along and say “I also named my son Bort.”

And the streamer NEVER gets it.

    Because you are referencing an episode from 1994, those streamers wouldn’t be born for another 15 years.

      Think it’s a Simpsons reference.

      They couldn’t find Bart nameplates, but there were many Bort nameplates, and even multiple children with the name.

    I’m sorry, were you talking to me?

    • No, my son is also called Bort.

    Here’s a hint, pal, when a mission goes FUBAR you just gotta a-BORT, or my name ain’t Whistlin’ Jack ‘No Lips’ Whistler!
