Oh I was just thinking chess, but not a specific move within chess.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm out of the loop, can someone catch me up on the holy hell thing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

En passant has always been the most obscure chess rule, in online chess it's often reported as cheating. Which resulted in a lot of people saying "google en passant", on an unkown lemmy clone someone realising it's an actual chess move replied, holy hell, and a meme was born.

Chess on French pastry?

[–] ceenote 40 points 11 months ago (1 children)

En passant on a croissant

[–] crawley 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

[–] ManicZed 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is that a new service from them where you can learn to make French pastry?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

bxa3 on a pastry

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Holy hell.

[–] ledtasso 11 points 11 months ago

I'm not sure if this counts, since all French just sounds to me like it rhymes with "croissant" ?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Holy pastry!

Google en-passant

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I'm not gonna say the thing, but I did google it and learned something I didn't know.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Holy hell!
