I knew spade was racist and thought it was common knowledge.
Ditto, and also ditto to knowing that "call a spade a spade" is NOT racist.
In college, "I Never" almost always had a lot of busting other people for their shit. Good times.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Our "I never", by the second time we played was straight up saying things that mean *you* had to drink, so basically one big smugfest with added inebriation.
I have no idea why it took us till the second time to get there. I assume most people just start playing it that way.
Two Truths and a Lie, I think.
That is quite possibly right. Then again, Quebec, so who knows what we called shit?
I think I played Truth Or Dare twice, and it ended in tears both times. So when they play it on TV for maximum angsty impact, I'm very "Yes--this."

Oh, hell yeah! This included saying shit you knew you would have to drink to also, just to get other people fucked up and squirming.
Truth or Dare was never as fun to me, because truths were kind of boring, and most dare were boring like "Flash you tits at cars in the street" or "Go grab that guy's ass."
Um, ok? Done. Ya just waltz up to someone and say "I'm sorry, but this is a dare/winning me a bet, so I hope you'll humor me" and do whatever.
It's actually gotten me free drinks a few times in bars.

I never understood why people chose dare. You could always just lie if you chose truth, whereas dare you needed to perform.
I was super nosy, and didn't really have any interesting secrets, so I loved Truth or Dare, just for the information.

Must be a friday. Buffistas are talking about sexual deviance, what to call animals, and drinking games.
It's nice to have ita back, isn't it?

LIE? During a TRUTH?
Sophia, you have no Game Honor. I am SHOCKED.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's nice to have ita back, isn't it?
Yes, even if she won't sleep with her sister.

the phrase "NASA has given the go to connect with the Dragon capsule" sounds like the blurb on the back of an SF book.
Very true.
I knew the racist spade connotation but don't think I've ever heard someone use it that way for reals. I wasn't sure if "call a spade" was racist.
LOVED playing questions, I never, and truth or dare in college. I do miss that. Sigh.

Which is why we had a blanket rule for the improvisers (trust me, it wasn't the comp sci people I was doing it with) that you were not allowed to tell strangers why beforehand, and sometimes not even afterwards.

Seriously. If people would do that, less tears! But no, we had people wedging their significant others (not even exes!) into uncomfortable places so they had to run out crying.
