    $ grep '^lem\w*s$' /usr/share/dict/words
    lemmas
    lemmings
    lemons
    lemurs
    

    So that’s four options right there. I’d go for “lemurs”, in part because it’s an old Usenet meme, and Usenet is an early federated discussion-board service. Frink!


    For Unix novices & others: The line beginning with $ grep up there is a Unix command line, suitable for use on a Linux system. It uses the grep search utility to scan a standard English word list using a regular expression. The expression ^lem\w*s$ means “any line of text, containing one word, that starts with ‘lem’ and ends in an ‘s’.”)

    (“Lemons” would be funny too, but even more so for people who’ve seen the ABC/Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. …)

      Why not creating a word. Like Trekkies ?

      I vote for Lemmies
