Merriam-Webster's dictionary throws shade after Colts, Titans, Vikings get into Twitter spat over use of "forge" in slogans

A Twitter quarrel between three NFL teams was shut down by.... a dictionary?

Yep, you read that right.

It all started when the Indianapolis Colts tweeted out a seemingly innocent image of their new slogan Monday evening.

The Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings, who both use similar slogans, trolled the Colts on Tuesday.
