___ party (pre-wedding activity, informally)
Answer:
BACH
Hint:
Not available
Explanation:
This clue is looking for a short, informal term for a bachelor party—the celebration for a groom before the wedding. The blank suggests a four-letter word, and "bach" is a common slang abbreviation for "bachelor." It’s a casual way to refer to the event, often used in everyday conversation or pop culture.
