Mistaken for Gay: Invoked with "homosexual flashlight", a game the group plays where the goal is for two people of the same sex to appear like they've been caught in the act when a flashlight is turned on.

Coming-Out Story

comment
Coming-Out Story: Subverted- although Gene initially plans on telling the group he is gay, he backs out of it and remains closeted at the end of the film. However, Ally seems to catch on that Gene's coworker story isn't really about a coworker.

Arc Words: The single words JD uses to describe the group stick with them, as they try to deny that they are those things. In particular, Claire struggles with being considered "puritanical" by JD and the others.

Christianity is Catholic: Averted. It is explicitly stated that Ally is Lutheran, which leads to a debate over the two denominations' interpretations of the Eucharist.

Dude, Not Funny!: While the "homosexual flashlight" game is based on sexual innuendo, Oscar thinks Gene crosses a line when he spits over the side of the bed and says "sorry, I don't swallow".

What the Hell, Hero?: Nearly everyone in the main friend group gets delivered one when they cross some various line with another. Notable ones include Rose telling Oscar to apologize after calling Gene a loser, and everyone getting upset at Gene for revealing Oscar bombed his UCLA audition.

Ambiguously Gay: Oscar vehemently states that he's not gay, but at some points seems to be denying it too aggressively. His relationship with Gene seems to have homoerotic undertones at some points, with even Gene being unsure about the signals he gets from Oscar.
