Where’d you get the name Fluther?

A fluther is a group of jellyfish, like a gaggle of geese (or a taint of tilapia).
“Fluther” is pronounced /‘flʌ ðɚ/. It rhymes with “brother” and “mother”.

Even though I know that it’s spelt and pronounced Fluther and rhymes with Brother, I always catch myself saying “Flurther” No clue why. :/

@Suanne, Can I be your Fluther sister?

@omfgTALIjustIMDu, only if you can make it into a witty rhyme.

@rob, I guess I’m out of luck. Or I can try to grow a penis.

@mrmontpetit, I can work with that. Easier than growing a penis.

@omfgTALIjustIMDu: They’re not hard at first, but with practice, dedication and availability I’m sure you’ll be able to make them grow just fine…

@Ort, “Them?” I only need one!

Good thing no one wanted to call this a murder of crows, somehow I get the feeling we’d attract all the wrong types, including the authorities.
