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. ---

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. ---

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… ---

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: \ "Show me it, I’ll explain it. You don’t have to play it if you don’t want to. Him: \ “I’m putting it back in the deck” ---
