When playing Pac-man or Ms. Pac-man, right next to a Power Pellet, you sit and wait for a ghost to come. Right before the Ghost hits you, you go for the power pellet, and quickly turn back for the Ghost. However, in the rush of playing the game, you don't quite hit the power pellet, and instead get the pac-dots in front of it, and turn around straight into the Ghost. Most often experienced with beginner players, or the impatient.
