My favorite is a complaint of Karens.
They are called “Americans” in Europe
We have fun collective names. A group of white men is called a podcast, for example.
I’m partial to “fuckton.”
A fuckton of geese. A fuckton of sheep. A fuckton of ice cream.
The only time Americans will use metric /s
A fuckton is 2000 fucking pounds. A fucktonne (note the spelling… metric) is 1000 fucking kilograms.
English fuckton, not metric
What is that, 2016 pounds or 144 stone? British units make no sense…
Fun fact, in America, a ton is 2000 pounds, which is slightly less than a metric ton. In America if you order a ton of bricks, you’d get less bricks than you would if you ordered it in France.
Damn shrinkflation
It’s even easier than that with most people I know
They just describe multiples of individual animals, objects, places or things collectively as just … stuff
Flock of geese? … stuff
A stack of books? … stuff
group of cars? … stuff
A planet? … stuff
A solar system? … stuff
A galaxy? … stuff
A galactic neighbourhood? … stuff
The universe? … stuff
The universe? … stuff
I think George Carlin would say that the universe is a place for your stuff.
No, it’s my stuff, your shit. Whenever it’s mine, it’s stuff. Whenever it’s yours, it’s shit. ie. “Get your shit off the counter so I can put my stuff down.”

Do those people count “one, two, many, lots”?
