When you’re playing Jeopardy, better make sure you know the difference in the word “gangsta” and “gangster.”

During Monday’s episode, contestant Nick Spicher chose a $1,600 clue in the Music and Literature: Before and After category, which required contestants to connect two titles that shared a common word.

Let Nick’s mistake be a lesson to us all. In 2018, you gotta keep it gangsta at all times. Never Gangster #Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/NMO7QsAfyI

Trebek deemed the answer correct and awarded the total. contestant lost $3,200 after saying “gangster” instead of “gangsta.” Shortly after, however, the host retracted his remarks.

“Our judges have re-evaluated one of your responses a few moments ago, Nick. You said ‘gangster’s’ instead of ‘gangsta’s’ on that song by Coolio. So, we take $3,200 away from you. So, you are now in second place,” Trebek said, deducting the awarded total and taking away another $1,600 for the incorrect answer. This caused Spicher’s total to drop from $12,000 to $8,800.

Now that’s gangsta! (see the difference?)
