With all respect and apologies to notMichaelJackson, who seems to be a bit sidestruck by a few of the reactions here;
but what we really need are more collective singular nouns (with all credits to Livius Drusus for prompting this with her "A murder of moderators" --- where she'ld invented that from "A murder of crows", the actual correct collectivesingular noun for a group of crows). So: A murder of mods ________ (credits for this one to Livius Drusus, as said) A malady of mod-bashers A flummery of mod-defenders An outrage of admin-attackers A slurp of admin-defenders An abomination of admin (or if you think I'm being way tooooooo cynical merely for the fun of it) An incognito of admin |

A mayhem of MadKallys An asylum of lunachicks A tutelary of Gurdurs. A libiderie of livius drusus' A halo of HelenMs A dalliance of dianas A junket of Jobars Oh, hell; stop me, quick!! This is addictive!! |

 I've been transmogrified from a humble commentator to a topic starter ! P.S. Credit where it's due --- "An Exhaltation of Collective Nouns" must have been invented by Godless Dave. Good one ! |

This is just too much fun to tack on to the Moderator Action thread. Congratulations, Gurdur! Thanks to the marvels of vB, you started a thread without your knowledge.
Of course, I'm crushed that you didn't recognize my work in the title. No more buttery jackboot leather for you, young man. PS - Hey luna, libiderie is just delicious, but I say avoid the sloppy plural s problem with a little latin: a libiderie of livii. I love all those i's. Mmmmmmm.... lower case i's.... |
