So my object was "flop sweat". I had no idea what that was and turned to Google to find out that it's nervous sweat brought on by fear of failure.
I also found this Urban Dictionary definition... "The light and tiny beads of sweat that transfer from the back of a males scrotum to the skin of a female during sex, usually propelled by the energy of the sack flopping back and forth." I am super tempted to use the Urban definition, especially since I got zero points in round 1. But not sure how to work that into a drama |

I am sorry, but that should easily be placed in any everyday conversation. I hear it all the time in the coffee shop.

This is the funniest thing I've read all day.
Thanks for the comedic break but sorry to hear about your very odd prompt!

I’m your group too! Literally getting flop sweat in has been the biggest nightmare of this weekend - especially as it’s a drama, surprisingly any and all serious drama moments seem to be ruined a tad by the words ‘flop sweat’….
Hope you’ve had more luck with it than me.

I ended up using the term "nervous sweat" and then described how my main character was afraid of failing. Hopefully that satisfies the requirement. I didn't score in round one anyways, so if they DQ me so be it.

I also had this prompt!! Never heard the phrase before and had to brace myself for the Google search - it just sounds so dirty! Luckily I saw the nervous sweat definition first 😅 😅

I had it too—but I’d heard it many times before in the context of a stage performer getting it before going out in front of a crowd. In the end, it wasn’t as tough to incorporate as I thought it would, as almost everyone has a cause for nervous sweat at some point in their lives!
