What are your suggestions for a collective Noun?
A giggle of men in skirts - we are not taken seriously.
A conundrum of men in skirts - works on a few levels.
A swish of men in skirts - not for minis though.

A "sweep". Primarily for the long-skirt faction.

A 'Swish' is my preference.
There is no such thing as a normal person, only someone you don't know very well yet.

Re: Collective Noun for MIS
It would have to be a "coincidence", or perhaps it could be a concurrence of men in skirts.

Re: Collective Noun for MIS
A concensus of men in skirts? something we all agree on? (Although, you won't get me in a mini!)

Re: Collective Noun for MIS
I like this one because it should be the only way this is perceived, ignoring what they are wearing. However it is fun thinking of new collective nouns.

Re: Collective Noun for MIS
OK in the spirit of the thread, I'd go with "Swish" too!
Or "Gunna" from the Latin, just to add a classical flavour.
Could anyone seriously associate that with a pair of trousers.

How about a new word or Acronym for Men In Skirts 
"MEINSK", pronounced Minesk. Me-for men, in-for in, sk-for skirts = Meinsk
(It does sound a bit like German)
Just thought I'ld throw my $.02 worth into the pot
