Hi,  
I would like to know if it is legally allowed, to use sayings or inside jokes from Fortnite (that developed by the community by playing the game) and use them commercially, i.e. for printing?

No images, no logos, just text with inside jokes.

So basically it is a reference to Fortnite. Is that allowed?

Regards

The floss like a boss is one example that is very popular.  
Is it legally allowed to make a design that says “Floss like a boss” and sell it?
