Pulling a "The Key" also known as "A Key Moment" or "Keying" refers to a person being unable or too incompetent to properly perform stealth related tasks in video games of any genre. The player will usually come up with bogus excuses as to why they are unable to complete the task or section of the video game and will often result in childish behavior or the player attempting to beat the section by forcing their way through it with blunt force (10/10 times this will still result in a failure).

Usually, the term is used by a third party spectating the accused player. This term was coined through the TriggerTalkTV community referring to one of the members (Key), who would continuously fail to complete a stealth section in the STEALTH GAME Series "Metal Gear". Key would repeatedly try to force his way through the sections of the game that required him to be stealthy by trying to just shoot his way through the encounters. Pulling a Key universally refers to being incapable of being able to be stealthy in a video game (potential usage in real-life applicable).
