Schmeeb

The name given to any inanimate object (e.g. a rock, crushed beer can, lighter, etc.) handy to a group of drunks at a party. The "schmeeb" is then used in an eponymous drinking game, in which the player with the schmeeb hands it off to another player of his choosing. The exchange goes as follows:

Player 1: "This is a schmeeb."
Player 2: "A what?"
Player 1: "A schmeeb."
Player 2: "Thank you."

Each part of the exchange is crucial, including the "Thank you." Player 2 then hands off the schmeeb to yet another player, following the above exchange, except that the question/answer goes back to Player 1:

Player 2: "This is a schmeeb."
Player 3: "A what?"
Player 2: "A what?" (to Player 1)
Player 1: "A schmeeb" (to Player 2)
Player 2: "A schmeeb" (to Player 3)
Player 3: "Thank you."

The game continues ad infinitum (or ad nauseam, depending on how much you're drinking), with each player handing off the schmeeb to yet another player, following the same exchange (there will obviously be repeats and crossovers, with the same players involved at different points in the chain - which gets tricky.) The round ends when the chain is broken (i.e. a player forgets the order of question/answer, or a recipient forgets to say "Thank you" - which happens often), and the guilty party must finish his beer. This player then starts the next round.

Dude, this crushed beer can would make the perfect schmeeb!
