Post by: Nicky on October 30, 2008, 10:16:56 PM
What could we call a group of androgynes?

I reckon we could be a giggle of androgynes.

The economy tanked and funding was reduced. The new plan is just army ants, they figure it will be just as efective.

Yeah, I saw this one episode of Macgyver where there was a rampage of ants. They were mean. Unfortunately Macgyver managed to drown them all, but then Macgyver could stop anything. Isn't he a dreamboat :icon_love:

I liked your suggestion Nichole.

I like it because it's a neat way to encourage people to remember the proper pronunciation of "androgyne."

How about a WTF of androgynes? After all, if you get 10 androgynes in 1 room, you're likely to end up with 15 definitions of what an androgyne is.  ;)

i do enjoy it, but i don't do it in purpose.

To be knackered is to be tired to the point of broken-ness. When a horse is taken ill, it is taken to the knackers yard where it is shot, chopped up for dogfood and its bones ground to make glue.

I was thinking 'gaggle' too, Nero. But then I read the giggle post which came close to making me giggle, though not quite.  :P

I'm sticking to a military theme. Even though my army got distracted and wandered off.

I say it's a legion of androgynes.


I like what Dennis, Nicole, and Emerald said too.
