A suitable collective noun

Is there a collective noun for us ? Sydenhammers ? Sydenhamites (maybe sounds a bit too much like Sodomites).

Any ideas ?

well of course it must end int "ite" or "ian"

let's take the former and add a couple of letters before it. I know. Let's take the first two letters of the two Saxon words that make up Sydenham.

That's S and H

Oh dear

Hmm. Like fishcox says, it is a bit like sodomites.. but we have nothing to be ashamed of so lets be Sydenhamites and proud! The fact that its hard to pronounce should keep the riff-raff at bay anyway!!!!!!!

I am closing this thread and suggesting that perhaps 'fun' threads may cause more problems than merriment. Hope you all understand.
