desert jellies 

According to Arin Hanson from Game Grumps: Desert Jellies are what the navy calls it when you jerk off in the shower, since you rarely get any alone time except for when you're in the shower. If you jerk it too much however, it will clog the drain, and your "desert jellies" will float back up to the surface.

"Desert Jellies," Person #1 simply replied.
