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

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

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.
