ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Feint

Feint is when you pretend to move in one way, but then quickly move in another way to trick someone. It's like playing a game of pretend. Imagine you're playing hide-and-seek with your friend. You see them looking for you, so you make a noise over here to make them think you're hiding in that spot. But really you're hiding over there! That's a feint. It's a trick that helps you get an advantage in a game or a competition. Just like how you can pretend to do something to trick your friend, athletes can use feints to trick their opponents and score points in a game.
