Fuzzy duck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fuzzy Duck is a drinking game.

In turn, players alternately utter the phrases "fuzzy duck" and "ducky fuzz". A player may also opt to say, "does he?", in which case play resumes in the opposite direction. If a player says the wrong thing, plays out of turn, says "does he" too often, or breaks the rhythm of the game, they have to drink an agreed-upon measure of an alcoholic beverage. This increases the chance of further mistakes.

An easier, alternative version allows players to say the same phrase ("fuzzy duck" or "ducky fuzz") until someone says "does he?". This reverses the direction of play and introduces the phrase change.

Increasing intoxication makes the game more challenging. Even when sober, it is easy to misspeak the words "fuzzy duck", "ducky fuzz", and "does he" because they are mild tongue-twisters which require a bit of concentration. Invariably, players render the proper words as the spoonerisms "fucky duzz" or "duzzy fuck", which sound like "fuck he does" and "does he fuck". Sometimes, an unsuspecting player is surprised when they have spoken a profanity, which can add to the fun of the game.

An excellent strategy is, when saying "does he?", to look at the person who would have ordinarily been next. It usually causes this player to continue play and simultaneously causes the player whose turn it really is to say nothing. Both players must drink; one for playing out of turn and the other for breaking the rhythm of the game.

The University of Waikato variation on this involves saying the "fuzzy duck" around the circle as per usual, but to reverse the direction a player must say "Does he fuck?". The direction can then be re-reversed immediately, but only with the phrase "Fuck, he does!". This tongue twisting element keeps the players on their toes, and naturally increases the difficulty of the game in proportion to inebriation levels.
