When you play paddy cake with someone, and then "paddy cake" (hit) them really hard with the intent to harm them with either violence or as a friendly gesture, or to knock them away as a way to harm them or tell them to avoid you.
Person 1: "Let's play paddy cake!"
Person 2: "...fine."
*Playing paddy cake*
Person 2: *rears fist in a way that looks just like paddy cake*
Person 2: *launches fist forward*
Person 1: *flies backwards*
Plot twist: Person 2 was using a Paddy Cake Fake-Out
