It's a Small World

I draw the line at 12-year-olds.           -   Donald J. Trump

Young ladies, young ladies, I like 'em underage, see
Some say that's statutory, but I say it's mandatory           -   Kid Rock



There are many colorful and interesting collective nouns for various kinds of animals. For example, a pack of wolves, a mob of kangaroos, a murder of crows, or a bloat of hippos. Some seem more appropriate than others and some are just odd. And there are also terms for people and inanimate objects, such as a gang of robbers or a heap of trash.

But what about a group of people who are also animals? Can we come up with a collective noun for pedophiles? An Epstein comes immediately to mind or maybe an Andrew. But that would be unfair to the millions of Andrews and Epsteins who are decent human beings. No, we need something really suitable for a group of pedophiles. Something that doesn't unfairly disparage people of good moral character.

Hmm, maybe an acronym could work.

GOP?

Perfect.
