I wpuld be very very careful abouf calling us chicks Rufus! ☺

Of course, Pollyperkins!
I've confused myself thinking of our local supermarket check-out chicks. grin
Sorry about that.
I shall have to be more than very, very careful next time I try to compliment you about your ages. smile

What would you prefer?

I can't think of a complimentary collective noun for
Grannies, so you'll have to help me out of this hole I'm digging for myself. sad

It's now past midnight and time for bed, so I'll say
Ta-Ra and Good Health. Sweet Dreams. smile

Collective nouns

A gorgeous group of grannies

A gaggle of gurning grandads

The collective noun for grannies should be a parliament. We're mostly wise, like owls.

My mother used to call me 'chick'
That was until I was about 8.

I like your thinking Chewbacca

I call my DC chick, and pet. They haven’t complained - not to me at any rate. ?

Come off it NanKate! shock
I've always avoided being seen in Glasgow and never will.
That's why I moved as far away as poss. Melbourne in fact. grin

If you must know, my physog reminds me of the Alfred Hitchcock horror film "the Picture of Dorian Grey" when his portrait in the attic was suddenly revealed; typical Hitchcock style.

This would have been before your time, but I was a grown lad then and it still made me jump.
Since then, I've avoided storing portraits of myself anywhere in the house and even The Shed.!
Also stopped preening myself in the mirror and bought an electric razor instead.! grin

Now you'll probably cause me to have nightmares tonight. sad

Ta-Ra, Good Health and Sweet Dreams if poss. smile
