I do know what it is, but have not played it yet - anyone have a link to a good GM type game where it was used? Would be interesting.

I made a mistake once (haha,,only once??).. where I forgot about en passant.. I thought I had put him in checkmate, but the rematch button didn't come up., and for the life of me I couldn't figure out why not!
It was in this game, Game 849886
Move 33B

You will eventually stop forgetting it. I find that en passant comes up a lot in the calculations, but more rarely in the actual game. I have played an ep capture once since I've been on RHP, in this game:

Game 894774
