Here's A Question!

Delphi · February 2004

<div class="IPBDescription">A herd of onos?</div> What do you call packs of aliens?

A pack of skulks?

A hoard of gorgies?

A flock of lerks?

A murder of fades? (Murder of crows, haha. Yes, it's real.)

A herd of Onos/oni/onoses?

What do YOU think? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Not sure if this has been adressed before, heh.

A stampede of Onii?
A horde of Skulks?
A murder of Skulks is quite cool. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

If it's multiple Onii, however, i think it's easier just to shout "OH F**K! RUN!" than trying to think up it's proper pack term. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

panda_de_malheureux · February 2004

a herd of pointlessness, who cares if u see a murder of anything ur dead.

Omega_Death · February 2004

Yeah right on Esuna I think the "OH F**K RUN!!!" is very discriptive and gives the proper effect of the situation. Good job.

Onoses if you want to use standard pluralization.

Cronos · February 2004

Menix, not that argument again, refer to the onos/oni poll. It's still under contention.

A Horde of Oni sounds good to me <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

frostymoose · February 2004

pack of skulks, drove of onos, flock of gorges...that's all i've got

Maveric · February 2004

OH F**K RUN!!!

fits under all of them. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

Malakai1 · February 2004

Onos can be singular or plural, depending on it's usage.

There is an Onos coming this way.
There are a bunch of Onos coming this way.

Same use, different meaning. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

I still like "a crash of Oni". (crash being the term used for a group of rhinos) <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />

ZiGGY · February 2004

id prefer a gaggle of gorges tbh D:

StoatBringer · February 2004

A stomp of Onu.

Trevelyan · February 2004

A pinch of skulk... a tad of lerk, mix well and bake for 30 minutes.

Now what were we talking about again? -_-

CORNMANDER! WE NEED LORKGUNS! THERE'S SHIRTS ON THE CLORF!

pieceofsoap · February 2004

Currently, according to a poll Flayra started, the pluaral of Onos is Oni, over Onos, in a vote of 475 to 461. Id call it a herd of Oni.

lol

Cronos · February 2004

Nope. Gorge gang = pwn.

Gorge gang > All

nip · February 2004

Considering the location....a large group of Onos would be a "ship-load" of Onos

I also like gaggle of gorges.

BizZy_9mm_Messiah · February 2004

Ohellnos "Oh hell noes!" Words from the wise black marine when he got his waypoint which was currently blocked by 3 Oni.

Ashaman_Joe · February 2004

I find it hard to call multiple Skulks anything put a pack.

It has to be a gang of gorges, because who hasn't heard of Gorge Gangs?

I think its appropirate to call multiple Onos a train of Onos. (Onii? Oni? Onoses? Onoseseri?)
Same applies for HA.

Don't personally know what to call Lerks or Fades, though.

SilverAx · February 2004

You have multiple Onos bellowing at you as they thunder across the short distance between you and oblivion...LoL bugger that.

Most common expression for seeing that many onos: <Insert curse word(s)> followed by spamming the suicide button.

A legion of Onos <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' />
