What's Your Collective Noun?

[Edgy MD]

I move that come up with a term to call a gathering of two or more Mets. We use it until the coinage becomes generally adopted. So move I.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I voted "Flushing" but I love "Mettle".

[Edgy MD]

I actually had it briefly on the short list, but I thought the redundancy would make it un-appealing.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I like Teuful

[seawolf17]

I kind of love "a Kranepool of Mets." Speaks to the longest-tenured Met, who played with everybody; I like the "pool" imagery, too.

[Edgy MD]

Exactly. The suffix "-pool" suggests a collection, and Ed — in his usual ordinariness, and occasional pretty goodness, his New York nativeness, his celebratedness linked to his status as a Met icon that has frequently alienated various incarnations of management, his ironic stardom, his 1962 link, his 1969/73 membership, his quixotic attempts to acquire the franchise — remains about as definitive a Met as there can be.

[A Boy Named Seo]

A Heep of Mets is a big-ass pile of Mets, people.



A Darling of Mets reminds me of a collection of starlings (which is actually a murmuration, but whatev).

A Familia of Mets is a tight-knit group of Mets.

A Koo of Mets sounds like caged Mets, probably those confined to the bullpen.

A Teufel of Mets is good, and sounds some Mets stuffed in a duffel bag for easy carrying.

A Meet of Mets is pretty perfect and would be my write-in.

[Edgy MD]

We may need a derby after the Magazine Cover Derby is over.

[Edgy MD]

A Bohanon of Mets is a whole load.



An Asdrubal of Mets is a very unpleasant whole load.



A Feliciano of Mets is joyful gathering.

[Vic Sage]

a flushing of Mets is what I'm willing to do, usually by August.
