"So it's called a 'knight'?"

"Yes."

"But it's shaped like a horse, not a knight."

"Yes."

"And it can only move in an 'L' shaped pattern."

"...Yes."

"That's not confusing at all."

I love you people. My family, my friends, and then you people. You're like the third leg of my sanity stool.

Ooh, I love Sanity Stool, have you heard their new single?

Damnit I’ve said this exact thing.

Or after the short dance I’ll just point a direction and be like “I’ll go that way”

Those are literally the only two options. Super polite and wordy, or awkward and asocial.
