Clowneries

/ˈklaʊnəriz/ noun

Definition

Plural of clownery; multiple instances or types of foolish, silly, or clownish behavior or performance.

Etymology

From clownery + -ies (standard English plural for nouns ending in -y). Clownery itself comes from clown + -ery (a suffix meaning behavior or practices of a group).

Kelly Says

Using the plural 'clowneries' suggests multiple separate acts of foolishness—like cataloging each ridiculous thing someone did, which is both grammatically precise and perfectly sarcastic.
