How gross does it get?

Properly gross — bodily functions, weird foods, hygiene disasters. Not for the squeamish, but never mean.

No — keep this one for personal life.

Four to six — large enough to compete for the worst story, small enough that the gag reflexes are visible.

Have you ever popped a pimple and had it squirt onto a mirror?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Gross questions earn their place because the laughter they trigger is louder than almost any other category — horror and humour share more wiring than people think. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
