+The Blorenges Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) We attended Write and Mane's Get-Together in Cardiff on Wednesday evening and it was the first time we've been in a group of geocachers. The crowd was very well-behaved and happily intermingled, with cachers taking turns on the exposed outer edges of the group and gradually exchanging places with those enjoying the warm inner glow experienced towards the centre. Some individuals were seen to share morsels of food with their companions, some shuffled their feet while manoeuvring bags and information sheets, while others shared intimacies within their breeding pairs (for example, when a female was asked to produce monetary tokens from her pouch to obtain liquid refreshment for her male). It made me think... We need a collective noun for large groups of geocachers: A cete of badgers.......a cito of cachers? A murmuration of starlings.......a numeration of cachers? Suggestions please! (Especially creative words will be accepted ) Mrs B Edited November 3, 2005 by The Blorenges Quote
+Moote Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 If they are all like me Mrs be then a Pain of GeoCachers might be suitable Quote
Team 'James W' Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Hi You might be interested to see some previous suggestions here or here! Happy caching Quote

+Simply Paul Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 A bolus of cachers always sounded about right to me. SP Quote
+Alibags Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 clump rummage mob er, isn't a 'bolus' the lump of chewed up food in your mouth before you swallow it? Yuk!! Quote

+BlueDeuce Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I've always been partial to 'A query of Cachers" but the singular would be 'A quer" As in "I'm part of the Quer" Quote
+lordelph Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 A "constellation" of cachers, since we use a constellation of NavStar satellites Quote
+milvus-milvus Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I came up with a "Notoriety of Northants Navigators" when we all descended on a new cache that was supposed to contain a White Jeep... (it had already gone!) Quote
+Simply Paul Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 er, isn't a 'bolus' the lump of chewed up food in your mouth before you swallow it? Yuk!! Any soft, round lump. It doesn't have to be food. A Perplexity of cachers? A Cluster of cachers? A Multiple of cachers? A Congregation of cachers? More on demand SP Quote
+Satellite Kid Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 How about A Skive of cachers :-) Quote
+Haggis Hunter Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 A Gaggle of cachers was once intentionaly applied to a series of events, just to insult certain people. Quote
Ben Pid Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Errrrrm... Why not just call them...... Simply Cachers or has that already been done? Perhaps... A Swamp A Puddle A Muddy Lane of Geocachers... Or we could go the whole nine yards and call agroup of Cachers... A Groundspeak ...HeHe Quote
+purple_pineapple Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 er, isn't a 'bolus' the lump of chewed up food in your mouth before you swallow it? Yuk!! Any soft, round lump. It doesn't have to be food. A Perplexity of cachers? A Cluster of cachers? A Multiple of cachers? A Congregation of cachers? More on demand SP just to be pedantic (sorry, not usually!) it doesn't even have to be soft, round, or a lump (in the physical sense). A loading dose of a medication, often given by iv drip, can also be called a bolus. I know nobody cares, but I fel like typing something!! I like a coordination of cachers! Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) A geo-orgy of geocachers? (to clarify this definition: "geo" as in relating to the Earth, "orgy" as in a drunken or licentious revel) Remove hyphen, contract word....Ge'orgy....there you go!....a "georgy" of geocachers Mrs B edited to refine definition....

+Gralorn Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 Bullied into this by Mrs Bee Coalescence of Geocachers Pundit of Geocachers Pachyderm of Geocachers Why do we need a noun for a group of Geocachers, we personally haven't met one other single geocacher yet since we've been geocaching.

Omega2 Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 A quest of cachers. A lostness of cachers. A puzzlement of cachers. A drunkenness of cachers. A mystery of cachers. An atavism of cachers. A dross of cachers. A repulsion of cachers. A revulsion of cachers. An intelligence of cachers. A misbehaviour of cachers. A misery of cachers. An alliance of cachers. A merriment of cachers. An encroachment of cachers. An endeavour of cachers. An amelioration of cachers. A giggle of cachers. I'm sick of this game. I will now shut up. Quote

+Gralorn Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 I notice that it states Mr B (Caveman) had to drag Mrs B to the function, someone regrettably was taken ill and another had a family crisis. I'll be the typical Pisces and stay out of the limelight. Seriously: It did sound most friendly though, and by all accounts and looking at the photo you all enjoyed it. What were you collecting on your pad Recipes or Clues? Quote
+The Blorenges Posted November 4, 2005 Author Posted November 4, 2005 It did sound most friendly though, and by all accounts and looking at the photo you all enjoyed it. What were you collecting on your pad Recipes or Clues? Our hosts, Write and Mane, had prepared some (short!) forms for us to fill in so they could have details of who was there, what everyone thought about the "proposed future event" and what help individuals might be able to offer. There was a lot of interest and a lot of general geocaching chat and I don't think anyone failed to find the location from the coordinates we had been given! . Mrs B Quote
+five tasty cookies Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 How about an addiction of geocachers? Quote
