Every now and then my mind goes to some odd places, sometimes inspired by things I’ve seen, sometimes not. On the weekend I had seen lots of hot straight guys around and I got to thinking about what the collective noun for a group of hot straight men would be. It could also be the same term straight women use for a group of hot gay men. I’m claiming creation rights to the term, a group of hot straight men is now known as a ‘Frustration’.
Of course once I started down that path my mind went wandering. What would you call a group of lesbians? I toyed with the idea of calling them a ‘Birkenstock’ but figured the company might not like me co0pting their name. I also toyed with a ‘Menstruation’ but oddly enough it didn’t sit well on my tongue. Eventually I decided that, in honour of the lesbian specific (and baffling) sex act, the collective noun for a group of lesbians is a “Scissor”.
This is, of course a list that I shall be adding to over time. I’m also naming a group of young children a ‘Mess’, a group of parents shall be known as a ‘Breed’ and a group of screaming One Direction fans will be known to me as a ‘Terror’.
I think a group of Lesbians should be known as a ‘lick’.
How about a ‘lick’ of lesbians?
How about “libbin of Lesbians.” Or “Niab of Lesbians.” If you are going to create, you might as well completely invent a new word. Re-gendering old words just gets confusing.
i once heard they were called a ‘glebe’ of Lesbians!!!!
A crate of lemons?!
according to the Melb Queer film festival opening night film they are a “flock of clam-smackers”
A ‘protest’ of lesbians…
What a great topic. A ‘saab convertible’ of lesbians is what I’d like to say, but it is a bit long winded. So I’ll go with a ‘muff’ of lesbians.
