Official terminology when referring to members of Glocals?

So, I was going to start a new thread, but then realized that I dont know the proper terminology to refer to a person that is a member of glocals.  My assumption would be that said person should be referred to as a "Gloke." However, considering my limited time on the site (and in Europe), I have elected to throw the question out to the forums.


Therefore, would some of you sage Glokes (I'm going to use this until corrected) please confirm the terminology that you prefer?

I like it :) 


But wouldn't that imply that it is a male glocals member? You wouldn't use bloke to refer to a woman, right?


I wouldn't really know, English is not my mother tongue.  What about glokes and glochicks?

Glocialists? Glocalican? Glocers? Glocrackers?


Glocal Warmers? Gluns and gloses? Glads and glasses?


 I insist we complicate it as much as possible and call ourselves Glocals.

I'm not so sure.. I mean, India isn't made up of Indias.. Switzerland isn't made up of Switzerlands..


Seems like there should be another word.  Also, I didn't think of Gloke being associated with "bloke" and therefore being a masculine term.. I just meant it as an abbreviation, or an abbreve if you will.  Just like Swiss or Brits


Anway, thanks for the input :)

Are they the ones that grow down from the roof of the cave, or the ones that grow up from the floor?  I can never remember which is which.

I think we should go with acronyms, and we need more than one.


I suggest:


"Pimage"  - Person I Met At a Glocals Event
"Pikfrog"  - Person I know from Glocals
"Piwimog" - Person I wish I hadn't met on Glocals
"Scog"      - Serial complainer on Glocals
"Tipfag"    - That idiot posting "funny" answers on Glocals
 
 
Best regards to all my Pikfrogs,
From Andy the Tipfag

You're looking at it outside-in & downside-up.


Indias would be made of several members called India. Switzerlands would be made of several members & each will by default, have to be known as Switzerland.
