The term jenga is a Swahili word meaning 'to build'... Jenga is also a game of skill (successively marketed by a number of toy manufacturers since the early 1980s). The game challenges participants to take turns carefully removing wooden blocks from a tower comprised of such blocks without collapsing the structure. When the tower finally, inevitably collapses, the participants shout "Jenga!" As the expression was used in the 2011 movie 'Paul,' the diminutive alien muttered, 'THAT'S Jenga,' in two instances (when people collapsed or were crushed), alluding to the game's collapsing tower.
