Is it a gaggle, a pack , a swarm, or a coven of ajummas? |

What about a gang? Obvious, yes. But would you mess with them?  |

I've always referred to it as an ajumma party
After all, don't they look like they're having fun? And they don't care who knows it.

A "murder" of Ajummas, a group of Ajummas is called a MURDER!
Doh! |

From my first days in Korea. The tune, I'm sure, you can figure out for yourself:
If you go out in the street today, you're in for a big surprise!
If you go out in the street today, you'd better go in disguise!
Because everywhere are women who wear whatever they dare
And they don't care!
This is where the ajummas have their picnic!
From the old days when a herd of ajummas would congregate on the traffic island at Gangnam station and have a picnic every day at lunchtime.

I asked a Korean friend and they said it was an adjummandle. Dunno if this was just her slang or if it is widely used but it works for me..... |

That's probably from the Korean pluralization suffix �� or "dle/deul" and it's booooring!
I like pack the best. Swarm implies too much motion, gaggle is just silly, coven is too saintly, and murder is, well, my second favorite. |

I believe the correct term for a group of halmonies is called a waddle. But a collection of adjumas??? hmmmmm.....
A flotilla??? A formation of adjumas??? (as in a formation of B52's about to wreak havoc on Berlin...)
Somewhat obscure, but maybe a wrath of adjumas...
A tribe?
What does the Daves grammar guide say? |
