Dodi,

it is a relatively common in pubs over here that a low door will have a
notice "Duck or Grouse" but I have heard of one where all the doors are low
and grousing is so common that they have a collection box (actually a swear
box) called a grice box to fine gricers - all proceeds to charity

We grouse hunters treat it like "sheep."



Collins Concise English Dictionary © HarperCollins Publishers::

grouse /É¡raÊŠs/n ( pl grouse, grouses)

1. any gallinaceous bird of the family Tetraonidae, occurring mainly in the N hemisphere, having a stocky body and feathered legs and feet. They are popular game birds





Steve Graham

The first task of an editor is to save the writer from him- or herself, no matter how painful the process.

So the plural of "grouse" is "sheep"? How odd ...

No, I think grouse is one of those words, like sheep, where the singular and plural are the same.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.

The plural of grouse is greep or grumbles
The plural of mouse is meep or trackerballs
