Bunch of coconuts. A lovely one at that.
We have fun collective names. A group of white men is called a podcast, for example.
My favorite is a complaint of Karens.
They are called “Americans” in Europe
An Americans of Karens?
I’m partial to “fuckton.”
A fuckton of geese. A fuckton of sheep. A fuckton of ice cream.
The only time Americans will use metric /s
Fun fact, in America, a ton is 2000 pounds, which is slightly less than a metric ton. In America if you order a ton of bricks, you’d get less bricks than you would if you ordered it in France.
Damn shrinkflation
A fuckton is 2000 fucking pounds. A fucktonne (note the spelling… metric) is 1000 fucking kilograms.
English fuckton, not metric
Metric fuckton has more punch though.
Nah, that’s a « fuck-tonne »
Nah, Americans use metric for selling drugs at the very least.
You can’t buy a cup of crack in the US?
Volumetric measurements aren’t really good for drugs, the density of the drug may vary depending on quality, origin or manufacturer, in the case of crack and meth. Weight is always better, but then you measure with half, quarter, eighth and sixteenths of ounces. See, we do have to use fractions after all.
I guess I have a lot to learn before launching my drug cartel.
Drugs, not even ounce
Also for gun calibers (is that the right word?)
Too true! ( Yep, that’s the right word)

A “fuck that” of humans
It’s even easier than that with most people I know
They just describe multiples of individual animals, objects, places or things collectively as just … stuff
Flock of geese? … stuff
A stack of books? … stuff
group of cars? … stuff
A planet? … stuff
A solar system? … stuff
A galaxy? … stuff
A galactic neighbourhood? … stuff
The universe? … stuff
The universe? … stuff
I think George Carlin would say that the universe is a place for your stuff.
No, it’s my stuff, your shit. Whenever it’s mine, it’s stuff. Whenever it’s yours, it’s shit. ie. “Get your shit off the counter so I can put my stuff down.”

Where else would I put my stuff?
I never disagree with ol’ Georgie
Sounds like German
plane - flying stuff
Lighter - fire stuff
Vehicle - driving stuff
lol … I’m Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway/Cree
This made me realize that the modern things we named with our old language sounds like what you describe
Aircraft -> kah-mee-nah-mee-kook … ‘the thing that flies’
Helicopter -> kah-kee-noo-kah-wah-nas-kee-pee-nik … ‘the thing that turns fast’
When the stuff hits your stuff like a very stuff stuff, that’s stuff.
Yeah I know … like stuff … I dunno … shrugs shoulders and walks away
I once knew a person that ended almost every sentence they could with, “and stuff”. I don’t think I’ve ever used the phrase since.
Thus “phenomenology” means αποφαινεσθαι τα φαινομενα – to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself. And stuff”
― Martin Heidegger
Buncha time.
Fun fact: The English collective noun for multiple Americans is a “volume”.
Wicked cools
