What's the collective noun for Yotties?

[BirvidikBob]

I posit ‘A divergence.’ As in:

“Oh look! There’s a divergence of yotties over there, discussing anchoring techniques.”


Hello chums.

In the absence of any input from the mods I’ve decided to follow 01 Anna’s excellent suggestion. I will note updates on this thread only. That way, those who are interested will know about it, and those that don’t can happily ignore it.

This first one has a slightly less tenuous link with cruising, than have some of the more recent ones. I like it (well, I would, wouldn’t I?), but it may be a bit surreal for some tastes and a tad too End of Term Lower Sixth Revue-ish for others.

So, for all those who’ve had to endure meetings and pontoon politics, we’ll give it a go:

Thank you, I've put a watch on the thread. Since a 'divergence' also covers cat herding it gets my vote

 

[ctva]

Don’t forget, MAFI’s.

My preference is a Gin of yotties.

“Only me”s.

 

[Gwylan]

A disgruntle , a poverty, an altercation, an independence,

But the winner must be "a ranthoneous"

Word for someone that always has to be right

 

[Bru]

Around here it's definitely an argument of yotties

 

[john_morris_uk]

If they’re racing then it ought to be ’a protestation’

Locals used to call my local 'Howards Way'. But it was lost on me as I never had the pleasure of watching the TV series.

“Useless bunch of”
“Pride of”

A convergence?

 

[crewman]

Having just been to a chandlery how about a "bankruptcy"?

 

[JohnGC]

Under sail - a "waft".
Moored - a "raft".
Under engine - a "donk".
Anchored - a "Rumsfeld" (they don't know what they don't know)

I wondered about "an exaggeration", then realised that must be anglers...
