grumble

A group of dads in bad moods, self-appointed comedians, or a combination of either type. You will typically find dads who are always grumpy or dads who tell bad dad jokes congregating together. These are the dads that hang around the grill at family barbecues.

Steer clear of the sports shop at the mall, it is full of grumbles.

My dad started telling bad jokes at home ever since he joined a grumble in the neighborhood.

Grumble Of Magats

Just like a group of owls form a Parliament and a flock of crows is called a Murder, a gathering of members and/or adherents of the MAGA political sect will henceforth be named a Grumble of Magats (a takeoff on the actual term Grumble of Maggots).

President Trump addressed an unusually rambunctious grumble of magats this evening as gas prices nationwide surpassed the $5 per gallon mark. Some of the attendees were actually foaming at the mouth.

Dave is being a grumblin right now, I’m not sure if he will want to go out with us tonight.
