Fuzzy Duck (drinking game)

Fuzzy Duck is a drinking game where players sit in a circle.

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.^[1] If a player says the wrong thing, plays out of turn, or breaks the rhythm of the game, they must drink an agreed-upon measure of an alcoholic beverage.

Sometimes players render the proper words as the spoonerisms "fucky duzz" or "duzzy fuck". The Book of Beer Awesomeness states that the appeal of the game lies in "watching a prudish player scream out a string of obscenities."^[2]

One 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.

A 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!".

In a test by The Independent it was voted best-equal with Ibble Dibble out of 9 drinking games.^[3]
