Fluck as in "what the fluck? Get out of the way!!!"? - Discoveria, 2007-03-01: 11:13:00

I'll be using this word to describe a lot of annoying groups of things. - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-01: 11:59:00

How about the always present fluck of movie-goers ever-so-slowly ambling out of the theater? Makes me want to scream "Fire!" - purpleartichokes, 2007-03-01: 18:30:00

Lots of similar thinking on this one.

Hey ErWenn, The way I see it there are two groups of words here. Those who like runners:Easystriders, Pedoton, Marathrong, and your Jogstalt. And those who don't: Stompede, Jogmob, Syncrunidiots, Stampedestrian, and the Shoekluxklan! Overall -- very creative!
