collective .infoers

[harembee]

I have a fascination for collective nouns. My favourites being:

A prickle of porcupines
A murder of crows
A wealth of bankers
and of course A hug of teddy bears.

So I am wondering which collective noun would best suit us at .info?

A harmony of FP.infoers?
An appreciation of FP.infoers?
A celebration of FP.infoers?
A devotion of .infoers?
A fervour of FP.infoers?
A verve of FP.infoers?
A rapport of FP.infoers?
An exuberance of FP.infoers?

Suggestions please..........

I tend to just call everything a flock. Here in the south I guess the most common term would be "a whole mess of" but then again they also call shopping carts "buggies"

My favourite collective noun is;

[glow=red,2,300]A GAGGLE OF GEESE!!![/glow]

as for what us .infoers are I dont know!!!
How about:
A band of .infoers
A chourus of .infoers

Yeah, I like those, pilotadam. Using chorus allows me to imagine us all singing FP songs, like at a gig, all of us together along the stage, several rows deep. BWAR! I'm missing those wonderful gigs now. Got a Kleenex anyone?

I love Americanisms, Londonmews. Here in the UK we call shopping carts trollies of course. I much prefer buggies though!

Well, here in the West...shopping carts are called...carts. (Not that original )

I always think about the use of the word "expressways" v. "freeways."
I prefer freeways because youre free to think about this while stuck in traffic ;D Expressway....well there's never a time when its "express" so it wouldnt be correct?!

Actually, we wouldnt be calling them Americanisms but Colloquialisms..right? It's funny but within California you can tell whos from No. Cal and So. Cal....for example, the use of the word "hella"
Example: Today is hella hot! Or...Man, its hella cold! (hella=very)
People from Northern Cal say "hella" A LOT!!

Yes, we say "like" A LOT!!! ;D
Sorry to be off-topic.

As a collective, I like the "chorus" because we all love to sing FP songs at the gigs!!! LOL

"buggy" would be quaint in the UK. Here it just sounds stupid.

In New England we tend to say wicked quite a bit.

In Boston they call a drinking fountain a "bubbler" except it sounds more like bubblah

.....And going back to trollies, anyone behaving as if out of control can be described as being "Off their trolley!" The derivision possibly evoked by an image of a child eratically pushing a supermarket trolley or by a hospital patient falling off of a mobile stretcher, according to a dictionary of contemporary slang by one Tony Thorne.

A Verve of .infoers sounds good. Have always loved that word. Great band too.
