Joellercoaster 6 #7 August 4, 2005 +1 vote for "stick". Although "mat" is probably apposite also.-- "I'll tell you how all skydivers are judged, .

"A Fuckload of skydivers." t The problem with this one is that it tends to convey the idea of a large quentity, as opposed to just any quantity. Therefore it wouldnt sound right to call a 6-way (for example) a fuckload of skydivers.

JohnRich 4 #17 August 4, 2005 Quotea "stick" of skydivers? Nah, that term originated with paratroopers who filed out the door single-file. If we were to pick a word descriptive of how we exit, these days it would be more like a "glob" or a "chunk". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinwhelan 0 #18 August 4, 2005 Quote"A Fuckload of skydivers." I was hopeing for something more subtle like a Fall of skydivers but maybe a slight modification to a Fuckedload would do the trick "be honest with yourself. Why do I want to go smaller?
