james h Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 anyone know what the correct term for a group of RO's is? just as you have pride of lions and a flock of doves is it a plague of RO's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Anderson Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 (toungue planted FULLY in cheek) It can't be a SQUAD, that term is reserved for SHOOTERS! Tee-hee. :) SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diehli Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Here're some more: A shrewdness? A sloth? A pace? An obstinacy? A cowardice? A skulk? A cackle? A romp? A prickle? A crash? A bask? An intrusion? A smack? A convocation? A deceit? A parliament? An unkindness? A pitying? An exaltation? Or maybe just a "shetlode?" Thanks, that was fun! :<---------------dork: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 I'm fairly sure it is a "squabble"...or is that shooters? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 You guys are way off. A group of shooters is a "whine." A group of RO's is a "pedant." -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 Oh, I was going to research the proper name for a group of stage designers but have discovered that they have never been spotted in any sort of grouping. Apparently they are social outcasts. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 A bunch of boozers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 A 'murder' is of crows. However a 'squabble' sounds completely appropriate on the RO issue. (I like a 'skulk', too.) Unless they're all good-looking, then it's a 'hunk' of ROs..... Nyuk, nyuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AikiDale Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 From my limited experience / observation I believe the proper nomenclature might be 'a Ritz of RO.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 A shrewdness of apes. A sloth of bears. A pace of asses. An obstinacy of buffaloes. A cowardice of dogs. A skulk of foxes. A cackle of hyenas. A romp of otters. A prickle of porcupines. A crash of rhinos. A bask of crocodiles. An intrusion of cockroaches. A smack of jellyfish. A convocation of eagles. A deceit of lapwings. A parliament of owls. An unkindness of ravens. A pitying of doves. An exaltation of larks. No, I didn't make this stuff up. SL, a murder also applies to magpies. They come up with some crazy shite to name groups of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 A crash of rhinos. How many more rhinos do I need to add to my posse to make a "crash"?! A Burden of Shooters. A Toil of ROs. A Bag of Shooters. A Clipboard of ROs. A Pinch of Shooters. A Smidgen of ROs. An Evil Band of Shooters. A Heavenly Host of ROs.

mike.45 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I like a ...'GOOGLE of RO's' as when you ask a question you get a lot of varing answers. James its about time you did the RO's course as you are now even taking the piss away from the range, and you can hurt peoples feelings like this Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james h Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Mike I now understand why you fall over so much. Its because you cant see your feet, I know this because you have failed to see me when ive RO'd the last 15 IPSC matches in this country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.45 Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 So thats why you wear the red t shirts ! Sorry it was an attempt at humour, I will stick to my day job. I know you are an RO, thats because, firstly I am a detective and secondly I am always ROing with you. I have found a M1 pratical tube from Steve P....hooray! Thanks for your advice, he was the man to speak to, I dont know why I didnt speak to him first. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james h Posted November 6, 2003 Author Share Posted November 6, 2003 Day job? you cant have one your always online! yes i know you know but I lacked the willpower to resist the easy jibe. next time we will beat the welsh in their red shirts j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Beverley Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 James, ....... when you say "beat the Welsh", what exactly do you mean? Mike said you were a bit strange! I guess that also helps explain your taste in waistcoats (US vests) (or lack of it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Pinto Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 OK guys, You've had your fun, and most of you made me cry (except for SiG Lady who was obviously thinking about me when she suggested "Hunk" of ROs) The official term is a Lodge of ROs, although some organisations use the term "Guild" or "Fraternity".

SRT Driver Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 A "council" or "court" of RO's and a "coven" of stage designers. A "whine" of competitors!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
