Title: Collective pronoun for our Reeks Post by: WebGoat on Thursday, 11 December, 2014, 07:59:34 AM G'day gang,
A fellow Reeker from Tassie has asked me the question so I am posting it here for all and sundry to have a crack as I can't remember whether we've broached this subject before or not; What would be the appropriate collective pronoun for two or more Eurekas together in the one place? Something like a murder of crows, or a gaggle of geese, or a caravan of camels, or a drunkenship of cobblers or .......... There's got to be something fitting for our Reeks. One of the blokes here at work suggested an assembly ???? Give it your best shot. ;D O0 whistle PP. for life Title: Re: Collective pronoun for our Reeks Post by: radekp81 on Thursday, 11 December, 2014, 08:08:48 AM Hmm... "Crew" or a "Shift", referring to a collective pronoun for miners (...in reference to the Eureka/Stockade)?

A Swarm of Reeks? A Lot of Reeks? or More than 1 Reek? ??? ??? ??? Title: Re: Collective pronoun for our Reeks Post by: CyCo on Thursday, 11 December, 2014, 02:12:12 PM I like Assembly of Reeks. IE; assembling a kit car. Fairly clever I think.
But, what about a Convoy of Reeks. ;D Title: Re: Collective pronoun for our Reeks Post by: The Metalsmith on Thursday, 11 December, 2014, 09:58:41 PM Hi kids,
