it should be "en passant sur le croissant"

[-] ThatOneKirbyMain2568@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

en passant on croissant
problem solved

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

You know. I've played chess for like 30 years and I can't recall a single time someone has used en passant against me.

[-] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 6 points 1 year ago

I feel like it's a rule made up by someone who didn't agree with the double step rule

"Oh, your pawn can do a double step? Well, my pawn can capture yours anyways!"

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

I'll buy that for a dollar!

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

[-] kernelle@0d.gs 19 points 1 year ago

You've strangely misspelled holy hell

[-] SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] kernelle@0d.gs 10 points 1 year ago

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.

Nice try, but that's definitely not it

[-] ManicZed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nope, he's right, it's a rather outdated move that I use to use in middle school to piss people off.

Fun fact: the French call it pastry from Vienna (viennoiserie)

bxa3 on a pastry

[-] ledtasso@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Zink@pawb.social 12 points 1 year ago

Holy pastry!

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

Where did the other white piece go?

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

Chess spread on crab bread?

Only thing not french in this meme is the text

Vous avez entendu parler d'elf on the shelf, maintenant préparez-vous pour en passant sur le croissant.
