If you use Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator, you will be familiar with the little arrows on the bottom corner of some of the icons in the Tools Palette. If you click on them and keep your mouse button pressed a little menu will pop up. That menu shows you some "hidden" tools which you can choose from. This little menu is called flyout (make sure you close all the windows in your room...).
