So we have a ‘flock of birds’ a ‘ murder of crows’, a ‘ herd of cows,’ what is a gathering of grandmas? I found myself sitting with about 7 grandmas at the park after school, and thought we need a collective name, any suggestions? 👍🏼🤪
Do you really thing GN is anti-granddads? Mollygo NO! Of course not! Why would you even thing that? Although you must have paused to notice at one time or another that several Grandads have fled recently! I wonder why? OoRoo
I don't think GN is anti-grandad. I think most people do view it as mainly for grand mothers and there are some areas where a grand-dad might fear to tread but, generally, a grandad can get involved as long as he has something sensible to say. I would not be interested in GN if it was just grandads or an area like 'grandads shed'.
Having said that, I think 'a wisdom of grannies' is definitely over the top!
there are some areas where a grand-dad might fear to tread Cunco There are only two places where this Grandad fears to tread; Cow pats and dog poo! I think that makes a lot of sense! as well as a lot of mess!
Aunty Granddad's name works fine until you say it aloud Mollygo I think I see your problem! You're a Northerner where the short flat "a" prevails, whereas I lived for several years in the Home Counties where "Aunty" used to be pronounced "Arnty"; not "anti" Cheers
Let's face it, these terms are all stereotypes. At times on GN, I think I have met a pride, a prowl and a hug of grans, as well as a grumble of granddads.
as well as a grumble of granddads Slow down a bit, Cunco! Unless you're a Grandad too, I'm the only one around here and I certainly don't grumble You might hear me howling at the moon occasionally, but that's only when I'm feeling lonely! OoRoo.
