Heh. I loved "I Never" because I knew all people's shit and would say things on purpose that they had to drink to. Not Deep Dark Secrets, just slightly skanky ones.
And I cheerfully drank to anything I'd done.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've never played I Never. What a waste of sexual escapades.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My *god* I loved I never. You get to totally frame yourself exactly as rapacious as you want to be, and learn shit about your friends. That and "One of these sentences is true." Or whatever that's called.
The best was the month or so when purity tests were all the storm, and we all answered every single variant I could find on the fledgling internet, but only shared our scores (one person read out the questions, but we only wrote down our progressive scores every ten questions, to hide which answers we were making). One guy scored in the low 20s before we all started doing stuff specifically to lower our scores. He was regarded as unto a god.
Bless university. Best money my parents ever spent.

Because books.
I always like I Never better than Truth or Dare, because dares always scared me.

Two Truths and a Lie, I think.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Oh, lord. I played "I Never" all the time in rugby, and a few times in Peace Corps (that's one way to get to know each other quickly. and get drunk quickly).

I knew the spade thing. I didn't know that phrase was ever NOT racist.
Poor "spade is a spade." It spent hundreds of years with the humble goal of having people avoid euphemisms and fancy language, only to get caught up in a controversy having nothing to do with garden utensils.
In my youth, "black as the ace of spades" was often used for anything very black. For example, "His clean shirt was black as the ace of spades when he climbed out of the coalpi.e." I don't know at what point spade slipped into the bad company of spic, raghead and their evil friends.

My sister! My friends got to the point that they wouldn't play with me anymore. I still love it.
I also loved the drinking games "Questions" where you had to frame everything as a question immediately, and if you froze or said a statement, you had to drink. So of course you had to ask the most uncomfortable questions of people ever to throw them off.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Nope, actually. It's just a drinking game, AFAIK.
