I once had to mime pate a choux for a game of charades. So I took off my shoe and patted it like a dog. Nobody got it. XP

If you ask a historian, an industrialist, and a physicist what the greatest force is, they'd say steam. If you asked a gamer, he'd say the same thing :)

@trlkly you failed to watch the video or do a simple Google search so I'll talk slowly and explain it to you. "Pate a Choux" is French for a puff pastry stuffed with a creamy filling. It is called thus because to the french at the time of its invention, choux was to them what the little puffed up balls resembled. It is similar to how the french have named potatoes "pomme de terre" which means literally "apple of the earth" even though it looks tastes is nothing like an apple. Geez.
