This crappy collage from 22 years ago popped up in my “remember this day” feed. (probably taken with a motorola flip phone) Which led me to wonder what would be a good collective noun for a group of General Lees…

      If they were actual generals, yes, but since “General Lee“ is the entire name and “General” is not a rank/title, it’s “General Lees”. Because this isn’t a group of generals named “Lee”, it’s a group of cars named “General Lee”.

      So the correct pluralization would be “General Lees”.

      It’s easy to get confused with this exception to the rule
