Poll: Collective Nouns

[Specter_]

Brunk[y] - adj The smell of autumn leaves. <- WTH?!
Crook - n A bent or curved place or thing. A dishonest person. <- I don't think anyone here is more dishonest than the rest of the Internet.
Scathe - adj Harshly critical. <- That's the one!
Babble - n To disclose sounds carelessly. <- Like, farting during dinner?
String - n Thin chord or twine. <- ?!
Coslicism - n An emulation of realistic yet fantastical Egotism, or super hero complex. See also, Doublethink <- Another favorite
Hive - n A busy place with many people. <- Too obvious.
Bastion - n A thing or person regarded as defending a way of life. <- Not really

I love collective nouns.
These are my two favorites.

Scathe - adj Harshly critical.
Bastion - n A thing or person regarded as defending a way of life.

A Scathe sounds better with Escapists so i'll pick that.

 

[Jamanticus]

Bastion is a little too self rightious and pretentious for my tastes.

Agreed- babble for me, because so much of this wonderful forum is filled with it, despite the fact that much of the babble is disguised as wit, satire, and irony.

Also, 'bastion' makes it seem like we Escapists are some sort of group of intrepid freedom fighters that have been surrounded by the rest of the internet and must lock ourselves in our castle, causing much inbreeding and insanity.

EDIT:

Coslicism - n An emulation of realistic yet fantastical Egotism, or super hero complex. See also, Doublethink

What happened to the mathematical definition that did not include Doublethink?

 

[Lord Krunk]

I chose Brunk.

I think you know why.

You mean we're not?
EDIT: And that that's not already the case?

 

[Jamash]

How about a 'Fleet' of Escapists?

 

[rossatdi]

Coslicism - n An emulation of realistic yet fantastical Egotism, or super hero complex. See also, Doublethink

This, because it's awesome.

I would have gone with critique. As in a Critique of Escapist complained about the search button.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

A scathe of escapists sounds the most natural to me...

I suppose so......Darn it.

I still like 'babble' better, though.

 

[wewontdie11]

I just like the word Babble so that one gets my vote.

 

[rottenbutter]

I like scathe.

I mean, just say it. A scathe of escapists.

It just sounds so right.

 

[Starnerf]

I like scathe.

I mean, just say it. A scathe of escapists.

It just sounds so right.

Escathists? I chose Bastion, cause I like it the most. I would have gone with Coslicism, but it has too many syllables.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

I'm gonna go with bastion, because that is awesome.

 

[Haddi]

Bastion, cause it sounds blimpin'
