In a game of chess, the term "Fork" is used when a piece attacks 2 or more of the opponents pieces at the same time.
Quite often it's a Pawn or more frequently, a Knight that is responsible for executing a Fork.

Example 1:
White moved his Knight to square e6 placing black's King in check. Much to black's chagrin, his Queen was on f5 which also was a square the Knight was attacking when the check was placed. Thus creating a "Fork".
Because a Knight check can't be blocked, black had to move his King to get out of check, at which point the Knight captured black's Queen.
Example 2: White pushed his pawn to square e4 and as a result, attacked the black's Bishop on square d5 and Rook on square f5 simultaneously.

Get the I forgot mug.A phrase used to mock someone when they say a joke or something they think is absolutely hilarious, but everyone else thinks it's retarded. Sarcasm in its most extreme form.
Chad: "Okay, okay. A Care Bear and a ninja got in a fight. Who one?"
Me: "The ninja."
Chad: "No. The Care Bear. You see, it had just eaten an eighteen inch burrito, and it farted. The stank smell killed the ninja! HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAA!!!" *more annoying laughter continues*
Me: "Wow Chad! That was so funny I forgot to laugh!"
Me: "The ninja."
