portuguese-man-of-war

[mollykins]

did you know that they aren't actually jellyfish?

have you ever seen one? i was on a seal trip and saw one? or worse have you ever been stung by one?

what is the plural?

[mollykins]

by the way that was in south west wales, off Tenby.

[andy-hughes]

Neither seen or stung, happy to say.

The worrying thought about seeing one is that they are not solitary animals, they swarm in thousands, so if you see one, chances are there are a load more near by.

[lankeela]

Presumably portuguese men of war?

[mollykins]

but should the whole thing be hyphenated which means it would be Portuguese-man-of-wars ??

[another-view]

It's portuguese man of wars

You wouldn't say menhole for more than one manhole would you?

[mollykins]

thats what i thought
