    A good name for bullies?

    Discussion in 'Character Development' started by JessicaEmily, Jun 10, 2019.

    Hello,

    I am in the process of writing part of my biography and am in need of a word or phrase to describe a group of bullies?

    They resembled quite accurately the girls from the film Mean Girls.

    What are some words of inspiration when you think of a bully or group of bullies?

    Thank you

    Jessica

    My default is to lookup collective nouns for animals. If they remind you of bacteria.....then culture or colony. If they are more like hyenas....cackle. Rats - swarm or pack. etc.

    The title made me think of Biff from back to the future. One of my favorite books names a bully alien character Bift as a pop-culture-reference nod to the trilogy. Similarly it would be cool to make a nod to any fictional characters that these people resemble.

    I'm not sure. I've seen enough of Mean Girls to know what I'm picturing, but I'm trying to put it into a neat little image. I assume you mean a clique name, a la "The Plastics".
