What is the collective noun for General Lees?

8 days ago by crenquis to c/lemmyshitpost

This crappy collage from 22 years ago popped up in my "remember this day" feed. (probably taken with a motorola flip phone) Which led me to wonder what would be a good collective noun for a group of General Lees...

I'm going with "A Treason"

My friend suggested "A Surrender"

Probably also from not making the payments.

Considering both the name and that they were all probably stunt cars for Dukes of Hazzard, I'll suggest "a loss".

The car has a confederate flag on the roof and it's named after a confederate general. Whether or not the characters of the show were racist or not (I can't tell, I've never seen the show), this is absolutely a good joke to make about the car.

Yeah i get it after rereading. I misread the comment initially. I'll own the down votes.

Generals Lee, it's like Attorneys General or Surgeons General.

eurodyne 5 points 8 days ago

If they were actual generals, yes, but since “General Lee“ is the entire name and “General” is not a rank/title, it’s “General Lees”. Because this isn’t a group of generals named “Lee”, it’s a group of cars named “General Lee”.

So the correct pluralization would be “General Lees”.

It’s easy to get confused with this exception to the rule

The jumps they did on the show frequently bent the frame of the stunt car, totaling it. They went through quite a few cars. I wonder if this is a new batch incoming or an old batch headed for the scrap yard.
