What should be the collective noun for moonbats?
Most of the good ones are taken, so let's try a 'ponce' of moonbats.
Cheers,
RK Jones

Is this a follow up on your earlier thread, Discussion point III ?
I still like a Flutter of Moonbats, although Nick M's "flitter" has merit. And Simon Jester's "shriek" is good, to.

I see that the collective noun for plain old bats is claimed to be either "colony" or "cloud" ... "cloud of moonbats" sounds quite good doesn't it?

The most notable (stationary) output of the bat is guano. Thus - a guano of moonbats.

Flight, a flight of moonbats.
What could we call a gathering of SpAds ?

A dirge of moonbats. Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a hate of moonbats.

Education reference: A flunk of moonbats
Moonbat marching manners: A parude of moonbats
Dead Vonnegut reference: A granfalloon of moonbats
Average moonbat clump: A git of moonbats
Dragging their brats along: A git of moonbats and their gittens

A Kos of Moonbats?
A Polly (as in Toynbee) of Moonbats?
A George (as in Monbiot) of Moonbats?

Alas, a Winge of Samizdatistas is becoming increasingly appropriate.

Maybe a foaming (as in foaming at the mouth), or possibly a rabid of Moonbats

I think Phil A's a "Lune" of Moonbats is going to prove hard to beat, but could we change the spelling to:
A "Loon" of Moonbats?
If that fails, how about a "Wide-Spectrum Libertarian Convention" of Moonbats?

Ian - please elaborate on your halfwitted comment.
I like a "screech" of Moonbats.
Posted by James Waterton at May 2, 2007 12:53 PM
Phil A is sooooo close.
I propose a 'lunacy' of moonbats, with perhaps 'loonacy' as an alternative spelling.

a gulag....
a crush....
a union....
or more crude .....a dingleberry.....
or more lyrical (and a modification of "barking") ...a meanbark of moonbats....

I was thinking, a "Surrender" of moonbats.
But I think a "Frothing" and a "Barking" have a lot of merit.

"A barking of moonbats" has too much dignity to it.
I'd say "a yapping of moonbats".
Posted by fritz at May 2, 2007 03:50 PM
I'd personally use a shower of moonbats myself.
Yeah, I know its already taken, but the link is kinda the point...

A 'Loon'?
Perhaps a 'Whinge' or a 'Snivel'
How about a 'HUA'*

I think it should be a "fluster" of moonbats. It fits, and it's a wonderful word.
Posted by andy at May 2, 2007 06:36 PM
A self-serving of moonbats?
A social consceince of moonbats?
An ASBO of moonbats?
A database of moonbats?
A multi-culture of moonbats?
A drowning of moonbats?
A vampire of moonbats?
I like HUA, like the noise you make when vomiting.

A PiTA of moonbats
A heartburn of moonbats
An annoyance of moonbats.
Posted by Sunfish at May 2, 2007 08:20 PM
I immediately thought of
A Lunation of Moonbats
but it is already a word with other uses ...
Posted by Alasdair at May 3, 2007 12:06 AM
A Quango of Moonbats
A Council of Moonbats
A Parliament of Moonbats ;-) Or is that something that already exists? I have a feeling it may be...
Posted by Phil A at May 3, 2007 08:02 AM
A Confusion of Moonbats.
Superb Charlemagne
I'm just amazed no-one has pointed out the obvious one.
An "Embarrassment" of Moonbats.

"The most notable (stationary) output of the bat is guano. Thus - a guano of moonbats." - Dr. Ellen
Better yet, a shitstorm of moonbats!
Posted by Robert at May 3, 2007 12:05 PM
'A litter of moonbats' catches some meanings.
Situational:
A swarm of moonbats.
A loiter of moonbats.
An echolocation of moonbats.
Posted by D Anghelone at May 3, 2007 01:20 PM
I like Roberts shitstorm of Moonbats, good one.
More for consideration:
How about a Respect of Moonbats?
Or a Gormlessness of Moonbats?
Posted by Phil A at May 3, 2007 05:14 PM
Guano already proposed by Dr Ellen
Maybe a Bedlam of Moonbats?
Posted by Phil A at May 4, 2007 08:00 AM
A gallows of moonbats.
Eeeh, that's just my wishful thinking.
A barking of moonbats gets my vote.
Posted by Kim du Toit at May 4, 2007 02:35 PM
A menace of moonbats (when close to power).
A joke of moonbats (when not).
A tantrum of moonbats (when frustrated).
A tyranny of moonbats (when not).
But I prefer: a creche of moonbats:
- "a group of youngsters, all about the same age, who stay together for protection."
- "a group of young animals all around the same age that herd together"
Posted by JohnOfBorg at May 4, 2007 06:19 PM
There is no substitute - it must be a 'mob of moonbats'
Posted by The Monster at May 4, 2007 11:45 PM
"Belfry" is good, and already suggested. Or how about "bedlam?"
A bedlam of moonbats. Yes.
Posted by Alan Sullivan at May 5, 2007 12:58 AM
I'll go with the good Dr. (way above) - a "Guano of Moonbats".
