    1. @psquid when could you even use that? A passel of - oh wait. Or is it indeterminately large group of a specifyable thing?

      1. Basically it’s any group sufficiently large that counting is either impractical or impossible. (I didn’t make the definition clear enough.)

      2. @reality Also, that reply completely surprised me, since I’d not realised that the auto-poster had already fired out today’s word.
