Plural of bleater; multiple animals or people that bleat or complain.
Simply the plural form of bleater, formed by adding -s. The plural system in English has been relatively stable since Old English, though some irregular plurals like 'sheep' remain from older systems.
Interestingly, 'sheep' doesn't pluralize to 'sheeps,' but we'd say 'bleaters' if describing multiple complaining people. This shows how English sometimes prefers describing animals by their action rather than their species when being insulting.
