You see, one of my friends in my class also started learning guitar not too long ago. Then he was trying play a D minor chord. Yup, even though it looks easy, it stretched the fingers and causes quite a lot of strain.
The top string, the highest sounding note, is normally tuned to play an E note during an open string state. Hence, it is commonly referred to as an "E-string". However, some girl in my class had a bad habit of mistakenly calling it a "G-string". I have no idea why, but I guess that the G chord is one of the easiest to play, and during that chord, the top string plays a G note.
Anyway, the above mentioned guy (he's a very good friend of mine, and was sitting next to me) seemed to have strained both his fingers and the strings, the top string snapped off with a resounding "twang" in the middle of class. Because that girl was sitting on next to the other side of him, and was observing him struggling, she knew what happened. So when the whole class was startled, she announced out loudly across the entire room.
"He broke a G-string while fingering a minor!"
