Playing Cards Against Humanity with the family last night. One white card reads “Bukkake”. Mom then proceeds to ask me “What’s that?”
I’m not often left speechless, but I was then.
JFGI. :o
“I don’t know Mom, let’s look it up on the internet together.”
A Japanese art form that combines performance art and abstract painting.
I’d say to my mother what she always used to say to me: “I’ll tell you when you’re 21”.
“Never heard of it. Is that Japanese or something?”
I think the takeaway is that playing Cards Against Humanity with your mother is probably uneven ground.
If your mom enjoys Cards Against Humanity, I’m gonna guess she’s worldly enough that she won’t faint if you give her a short technical description.
“It’s a sexual act that you probably don’t want to know anything more about, and which is unfortunately featured in some pornography”.
This would be my answer because I don’t know what it is, and based on what I’ve read here, I don’t think I want to know.
I’d say that “kakeru” means to “cover” or “splatter”. And then you add a “bu” to the start to emphasize the action, like adding ker to ker-splat or ka to ka-pow. So it’s ga-splatter, and it involves a bunch of men and one woman…
“Remember that time you used the mixer to make a cake, but the speed was set too fast? Remember how stuff splattered Everywhere and it took days to get it all out of your hair and weeks to get it all cleaned up?
Well, its kinda like that, but only a MILLION times more gross.”
or…
“Don’t look it up, Ma. Just… don’t…”
“Just be careful what biscuits you eat, ma”
“…and don’t use the Gravy Boat…”
“What’s Bukkake? Why, it is a way of preparing udon noodles in Japan, quite delicious.”
Udon - Wikipedia (totally SFW, believe me).
This would be me, since I don’t know what it is. My Mom was pretty straitlaced but on the other hand wouldn’t be too shocked by what folks get up to.
“It’s cute Japanese kitten videos, ma. You’ll love it! Go google it at work when you are bored.”
It is a green stalk vegetable similar to cauliflower.
mmm
I have played CAH with my mom (and my whole family) and my sister’s fiance’s kids. The 14 y.o. won b/c he would play ANYTHING. And my mom (while 66, doesn’t live in a bubble. If she doesn’t know what it is, it wouldn’t make her faint.)
The Fella and I played with some old friend of his from high school in the past year. One guy got the word ‘bukkake’ and had to ask.
Him: I got a word; I don’t know what it is.
Me: <li’l miss helpful + large vocab> "Show me it, I’ll explain it. You don’t have to play it if you don’t want to.
Him: <after the explanation and truly horrified expression> “I’m putting it back in the deck”
That’s brukkokli!
And i love it! Smothered in sauce!
