Then why does everyone respond with "holy hell" or "new response just dropped"?

It's a meme. It was used so often it spawned other meme responses itself. So it goes like this:

google en passant

holy hell

new response just dropped

actual zombie

You get the gist.

new response just dropped

I have no idea, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

En Passant breaks the rules for how pawns normally capture pieces, so it's surprising. Holy hell is an exclamation of surprise.
