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…

1 dayConsidering both the name and that they were all probably stunt cars for Dukes of Hazzard, I’ll suggest “a loss”.

This is the only answer I’ll accept as real, and I have logged it in my head cannon. Thank you for your service.

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

The jumps they did on the show frequently bent the frame of the stunt car, totaling it. They went through quite a few cars. I wonder if this is a new batch incoming or an old batch headed for the scrap yard.
