<< BOSTON DRINKING COLLECTIVE CURSED ~ MAIN ~ RESPECT DUE >>

SCRUBBERS OBSERVED

Text message received earlier from a TV pal, now Sydney-based, back in Melbourne for the Logie awards:

Just saw a brace of filthy Richmond scrubbers getting boozed up before the game.

It’s good to be home.

I believe the correct collective noun for filthy Richmond scrubbers is a “bartlett”. Other TV awards have already been announced.

  2. Come to think of it, the collective noun should be a coventry

  8. Collective nouns are always a bit of fun, such as a murder of crows or a parliament of owls or a mob of kangaroos.

    The is not the first time a football term has been used as a collective noun, though.

    Recently noted, and becoming more common in the vernacular, is “An Essendon of arseholes”
