Doe!
It won't be easy to Buck that trend.
Sounds like a load of Bullwinkle to me.

BJM: Hey Rocky! Watch me pull several mouse devices out of my hat
RJS: But that trick never works, without a collective noun!
BJM: This time for sure. Presto!
RJS: Just looks like a herd of mouses to me.
BJM: Hmm. I've never heard of mouses before?
So we now need a collective noun for mouse devices.
(Perhaps a Mouse De-Vice Squad?)
Meeses still gets my vote.
Cheers,
Micky G.
