Collective noun?

Just wondering what the collective noun would be for a gathering of hose-heads? Any suggestions?

How about ...
'A breeze' of hose-heads?
'A gust'?
'A puff'?
'A wheeze'?

Let me know your ideas!

I don't know, but I think RG is the only true (panty) hose-head amongst us.

Not sure what the collective noun would be, but I do know that multiples of hoseheads blow in when they come together .

groan! Good effort, but I'm sure you can do better! ok so here's something to get your creative juices flowing ... how about the collective noun for a gathering of DMEs?

Oh, why not!

I've always loved hearing the crazy collective names of groups:

(Forgive me ChristineRRT...this is in fun, really!!)

A dupe of DMEs

A draggle of DMEs

A dalliance of DMEs

Those groups can be spotted en masse at Respironics Mask Seminars.

A murder of DMEs.

Come on, you gotta love the sound of that!

We don't have DMEs in the UK, but if we did I think they might be called 'a fleece' of DMEs - if you need that explaining let me know! But I get the impression from the the collective noun of 'a murder' of DMEs that they aren't the most loved of people! - By the way that description really got me laughing - I could almost feel the hate!

Okay weighing in:

A Snootful, honker or not-herd of hoseheads
A Gargle of rain-outs
A Dyspepsia of DMEs

How about 'a congestion' of hose heads? and 'a thiefdom' of DMEs? or maybe 'a robbery' of DMEs? or how about 'a pressure' of hose heads? I think the list is almost endless!

A Defenestration of DMEs

Considering what we do with our money around them and what we want to do to them.

I vote for that too.

But come on, a "gathering" of hoseheads??
That would be one tangled web of hoses, don't you think?
If we gather, we must never play Twister wearing our masks!

....unless you really really want to!

anyone remember: "up your nose with a rubber hose" - Vinny Barbarino from Welcome Back Kotter.

That phrase used to be a put down. Now it just describes what I do each night before I go to sleep. I put a rubber hose (actually 2 prongs connected to one hose - aura user here) up my nose!
