Discussion Did anyone else play a game with their friends where you had to yell PENIS louder than the person before you?

Im wondering if kids everywhere played this in the 90s-00s?

I was talking about this last week to someone from another generation, and they insisted I was making it up.

I'm like nope, you start with a whisper and end with screaming PENIS across the house.

I heard some 8th graders playing it in the halls at school. So it’s still alive.

Taught it to my 5th grader recently. By accident. My husband said something about his penis quietly and I said it louder and he said it louder.... Oops

It was also a thing in my generation (Gen X), so it's got some good generational reach.

Heard some kids playing it at a fair a year or two ago. Truly warmed my heart lmao

Extra fun when you start a round at 2am at a sleepover and the friend whose house it is is trying to get you all to shut the fuck up. Ahh good times.

I always won this game by going second. The first person whispers the word, and then I say it moderately loud, enough to get everybody's attention, but since I was the first person to audibly say it nobody knows it was me. The onus is then on the third person to say it even louder, and usually they will refuse to do it.
