Another day, another perfect Twitter response from Chrissy Teigen.

She's pretty much turned blunt comebacks into an art form.

This time it was started with the following viral tweet, which asked why some women refuse to take their husband's surname.

At the time of writing that tweet has just over 250 retweets, and around 3800 replies.

Needless to say, it generated quite a bit of discussion.

There were plenty of snappy responses, too.

Then, in the early hours of Thursday morning, Chrissy Teigen got involved.

She's got a point. As a quick Google search reveals, John Legend is not not actually John Legend's real name.
