Herd, Flock, Gaggle, Pack, Congress, School, Swarm, Hive, ETC. each of these words are already tightly associated with how we describe several groups or the assemblage of various beings and species. We break down our age groups by classing ourselves with words like Boomers, Xer's, millennials, gen Z, and so forth. When it comes to political persuasions terms like, Left, Right, Moderate, Progressive, Conservative, Liberal, Libertarian, often wind up with secondary descriptive words such as Radical, Socialist, Communist, Ultra, and more. I won't even attempt to understand the latest movement of describing genders with the whole pronoun thing, likewise I will refrain from delving into how people of all races colors creeds and religions often use words to describe persons not of the same volition as they are, Heck, while growing up some kids learned about some of my family's ancestry tagged me as half breed, it made me the cool kid though amongst my peers.

Now when it comes to adding a vernacular to persons we think of as thin skinned, snowflake has become the term often used, to make this plural, the word snowflakes is used, however this seems to be a little under descriptive when portraying the derogative nature in describing a bunch of thin-skinned persons, as not being offensive enough to describe them. I'm sure someone will come up with the appropriate negative integer to tag on the label. Once this happens the word snowflake will become the next descriptive to be stricken from group speak.
