A bunch of collective nouns

Fun fact: The English collective noun for multiple Americans is a “volume”.

My favorite is a complaint of Karens.

They are called “Americans” in Europe

An Americans of Karens?

It’s even easier than that with most people I know

They just describe multiples of individual animals, objects, places or things collectively as just … stuff

Flock of geese? … stuff

A stack of books? … stuff

group of cars? … stuff

A planet? … stuff

A solar system? … stuff

A galaxy? … stuff

A galactic neighbourhood? … stuff

The universe? … stuff

I once knew a person that ended almost every sentence they could with, “and stuff”. I don’t think I’ve ever used the phrase since.

Thus “phenomenology” means αποφαινεσθαι τα φαινομενα – to let that which shows itself be seen from itself in the very way in which it shows itself from itself. And stuff”

― Martin Heidegger

When the stuff hits your stuff like a very stuff stuff, that’s stuff.

Yeah I know … like stuff … I dunno … shrugs shoulders and walks away

The universe? … stuff

I think George Carlin would say that the universe is a place for your stuff.

I never disagree with ol’ Georgie

Where else would I put my stuff?

No, it’s my stuff, your shit. Whenever it’s mine, it’s stuff. Whenever it’s yours, it’s shit. ie. “Get your shit off the counter so I can put my stuff down.”

Sounds like German

plane - flying stuff

Lighter - fire stuff

Vehicle - driving stuff

lol … I’m Indigenous Canadian and I speak my language Ojibway/Cree

This made me realize that the modern things we named with our old language sounds like what you describe

Aircraft -> kah-mee-nah-mee-kook … ‘the thing that flies’

Helicopter -> kah-kee-noo-kah-wah-nas-kee-pee-nik … ‘the thing that turns fast’
