After this they head back to Neil's house and begin drinking. To their surprise, Neil's dad walks in, but Will, who is drunk, bullies Neil's dad about his alleged homosexuality by inventing the term "Bumder" (which he later explains is a cross between a bummer and a bender). Neil's dad is furious, and the boys are thrown out.
