Blenchers

/ˈblɛntʃərz/ noun

Etymology

Plural form created by adding '-s' to the singular noun 'blencher.'

Kelly Says

The plural form suggests that avoiding difficulty is common enough that we need a collective noun—it's almost nostalgic for a time when people actually used this word to describe everyday human cowardice.
