Blaming The Lag Hats

Description: A blue game controller sweating under a wifi signal down to its last red bar, with a spinning loading circle and a big red X, under the words Blaming the Lag. A funny gift for online gamers who know it was definitely the connection and never their skill.

Description: Individuals engaged in any type of work, exactly like English teachers and English students, heavily utilize this modern tactic. Digital communication has gifted us the ultimate escape route for moments of absolute mental blankness. A professional is put on the spot during a virtual presentation and suddenly forgets their own job data. An English instructor is asked to define a complex vocabulary word and momentarily loses their entire train of thought. An English student is called upon to summarize a reading passage they completely ignored. Instead of panicking, we simply freeze our faces and pretend the connection has totally dropped. By the time the screen unfreezes, we have successfully searched for the right answer.
