What do you call a group of kilts men?

[Eric T]

I don't think a finely dressed kilted man would in the least fit the description of "rabble". Perhaps rabble would be used to refer to a group of men in great kilts and such earlier versions. Maybe the term "delegation", for the "neater" end of the spectrum, and the middle could be something like "contingent" or what have you. Or we could just settle on "a bunch of guys in kilts". Covers it all.


To respond to Michael Steinrok's posting signature: "The Wild Scots are clothed after the Irish fashion in striped mantles with their hair long and thick " Camden "Britainia"1607 - I think rather the man saw the Irish first, and didn't realize they were clothed after the Scottish fashion, hmm?

When you get to know us better you might change your mind.

too much formality and rigor...get more than one of us in one spot, regardless of upbringing, education, training or status, and you've got a rabble...

add scotch...and you may have to call the constable.

I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss out on a wee dram or two...

[Tartan Hiker]

OK, I suggested this before and no one liked it. I still like it, so there.....

a group of men in kilts is a PLEAT.

Considering how many of us are renegades, rebels and rogues, rabble fits better.

There used to be this paperback booklet with all those descriptors, can't remember who wrote it.

I always liked "A worshipful of ravens"; that's pretty clever.

Getting back to the subject at hand, how about:

"An unbifurcatful of Scots". Try to say that five time real fast after a snort of 25-year-old Single Malt...

Wrongo, boyo. At the time, the Scots (original meaning=Irish) retained their Irish dress.

As for the actual thread, I like "a waggle".

Heck, I've been accused of doing rabble all by myself, for no particular reason, dressed up or no. I'm good at that.



Rob Wright got me thinking, a trouble of kilts.
