When two straight buddies party so hard to the point of blackout that they wake up the next morning naked, next to each other, holding each other’s peens with no recollection of any of the events that lead to this shameful position of regret. Typically only the words “Dude, WTF?!!” are uttered upon waking and nary to be spoke of again.
Dude, WTF?!! I’m holding your peen. What happened? I don’t know but nary shall we ever speak of this again or to anyone. This peenicularhomocide will be our secret.
