The highlight of the night, though, was Jimmy’s last turn. He pulled a scrap of paper from the bowl, closed his eyes, and let out the most long-suffering sigh.

“You can always pass,” Adam suggested.

But Jimmy opened his eyes and held up two fingers.

“Two words,” his team said in unison.

He put two fingers up again.

“Second word,” the team said.

It didn’t take long to get the second word:dress.

Jimmy sighed heavily again, then grabbed his crotch.

A lot happened at once. Erin guessedMichael Jackson, Melissa went withgroin, and Caleb mutteredoh Godas Parker squealed with laughter.

Jimmy grabbed his crotch again, more aggressively.

“Masturbation,” Rachel offered.

“Because that goes so well with dress,” Erin said.

“Says the person who guessed Michael Jackson.”

Jimmy made a fist except for his pointer finger, which pointed at the ground.

“Fingering!” Melissa shouted.

Parker laughed harder, Mae joining in. Noah buried his head in his hands. Jimmy did the same two moves again, grabbing his crotch then pointing toward the ground. Erin was both too buzzed and too focused on getting the clue to worry much about her team looking ridiculous.

“Penis,” she said.

Jimmy nodded quickly.

“Man,” Adam guessed.

“That’s cisnormative,” Parker and Caleb said in unison.

“Hand job!” Melissa said.

“Please kill me now,” Noah said.

Jimmy pointed to Erin and waved his hand, gesturing for her to keep going.

“Penis?” she said again.

He continued gesturing for more.

Rachel rattled off options. “Dick. Prick. Johnson.”

Jimmy reenacted his clue for the second word.

“Yeah, dress, we know,” Adam said.

“Dick dress,” Erin snickered to Rachel, who was beside her on the couch.

Rachel snapped her fingers like she’d gotten the answer and yelled, “Foreskin!”
