A cache of bankers
A brevity of tweeters
A gore of environmentalists
A grump of contrarians
A zuckerberg of hackers

Political correctness gone mad, I say.

Not to mention 'Scotsmen', Rob. Now, what might that collective noun be, I wonder?

A cacophony of tweeters
A murdochery of hackers
A mumblitude of hoodies
A scrummage of WAGs
A verdancy of environmentalists
A veniality of bankers
A prevarication of MPs
A unanimity of contrarians

Now can I get down the pub?

[Rob Stuart]

A solipsism of tweeters
An isolated incidence of hackers
A deceit of MPs
A shuffle of hoodies
A dependency of WAGS
A field of environmentalists
A clutch of bankers
A repudiation of contrarians

A distillery of Scotsmen?

This is the weakest competition I have ever seen in the Speccie: Jaspistos will be revolving in his grave. Lucy is going to get 'a twat of tweeters' about a hundred times from various entrants, Bah!

Well, it's like a lucky dip, isn't it? I think she's trying to recruit more competitors. We tried it with A levels, as I remember, and it didn't work.

There are probably Scottish jokes that would be considered relatively inoffensive today -- a devolution? a connery? But I can't imagine many of us venturing some of the Jew jokes that were countenanced at the NS in pre-Third Reich 1930 -- a haggle, a gesticulation, a sheen(!) Maybe that's political correctness; maybe it's simply a decent respect to the opinions of mankind.

A meanness of Scotsmen?

I know you couldn't see it, Chris, but I assure you my tongue was firmly in my cheek there!

The curse of online communication. Without those damn smiley-face thingies, we never know where we're at. I blame the Jews who control the Internet.
