In what kind of games does the special 3rd rank pawn taking rule apply?

Dont believe @Unihedron. it is called Coor Sling. BTW, if you attack two pieces with the Nite then it´s called Fook. If you give a Ruk for a Nite then this is called Action Sak.
Btw, for anyone who cares, I'd say it is an eggcorn rather than a malapropism because the phrase "umpires on" suggests the vigilance of rule-enforcers, which matches with the mysteriousness and difficulty of the rule for beginners. It seems likely that whoever came up with the phrase transposed the French into English that best fit with that person's limited understanding of the rule. Also, to anyone who did care: we should be friends.
