12. Not even close - I thought 'Oh Hell' was the PG way of saying 'Bullshit'

Bullshit is where all the cards are dealed. You take turns going around the table and starting with the Ace working up to King you place face down the number of cards that match which set you get. So first person may say "I have 1 Aces" and then they place a card face down on the center pile. Next person would say something like 'I have 3 Twos' and then they place 3 cards face down. Thing is if you don't have the cards or just think you can get away with it - you can actually put anything face down that you like. It's up to the other players to call you if they think you are lying - aka Bullshit. If you were telling the truth then the person who calls bullshit gets the entire pile. If you were lying then you have to take all the cards.

THe tough thing is towards the end of the game people will start including all 4 of each number/face card. So it's alot easier to call bullshit on someone.
