The 8 of them called themselves The Marrythoners, as they had all met while in marathon training and ended up marrying each other. We however called them the Sociopathletes.

They set race relations way back...

Gangruntality

mrskellyscl

Created by: mrskellyscl

Pronunciation: gang-run-tal-i-ty

Sentence: When Jason ran with his group he joined a gangruntality with his fellow runners as they blatantly disregarded all traffic laws, daring people to honk or swear at them. His mother told him never to get involved with a gang, but he couldn't help it. This was the street, and jogging alone here was asking for trouble. Besides, running through stop signs and knocking down old ladies made him feel rebellious and free, just like James Dean -- a runner without a cause.

Etymology: From "gang mentality": a feeling that allows individual members of a group feel invincible, larger in importance or strengthened -- often used in reference to street gang behavior + Gang: refers to a herd of buffalo, elk, or a pack or wild dogs; a group of people who engage in wrongdoing + run: jog + mentality: attitude or way of thinking

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!
