I am a "Glob"
 

Checking in today at the HP Baton Rouge, with a nice little sign welcoming their elite members, with the elite designations beside their first initial and last name.

There are two "Glob" here tonight, with a few "Expl" as well, and maybe one "Disc".

It probably isn't a great idea to have a sign with the first initial and last name of guests sitting at the front door. Some folks might not want their information advertised.

And, I have a hunch the marketing geniuses at Hyatt didn't plan on "Glob" being the name that is going to stick for this program.

This name was coined by feeb1 back on 30 OCT 16, so he deserves all of the credit. I proudly call myself a Glob whenever I call Hyatt. In fact, it allows me to denigrate their program verbally without them having the slightest clue.:D

Hyatt should change Courtesy Card to Gelatinous Glob as a way to indicate the extra specialness of that tier. Courtesy Card just sounds prosaic and doesn't have the Millenial pizzaz that Hyatt seems to be looking for.

Very disrespectful :eek: that should be two Globs here tonight (plural);):)

Only feeb1 gets to decide what's proper plural form. It could be Globs, Glob, Globe, or even Glib.

Hmmm, I thought the plural of Glob would be Glob, like sheep.

Dang! I thought they would display World of Hurt that I used early on.

I'm interested in the verb form, as in "I got Globbed".

It's like octopus. The plural form is Globi :)

That would make the original Globus.

And I suppose Lifetime would be Globus Maximus.

"Globi" is a cartoon character in Switzerland. My wife and I joke with this tier, that I am Globi and she's Globine (the girlfiriend cartoon character) :D

Please don't humanize the Glob.

If we're heading down the latin angle I'd prefer (s) Globis (p) Globum. Just like the way Globum sounds.


What about a group of Glob? Gaggle? Flock? School?

Certainly not a pride of Glob

There are many to choose from here.

One's that caught my attention (from a long list) would be:

birds (sea) -- wreck. A wreck of Glob(s).
cats (general) -- nuisance. A nuisance of Glob(s).
locusts -- plague. A plague of Glob(s).

etc etc etc

Example:
(1) Hey Mike, i think several tables in the lounge are replete with Glob(s).
(2) Yeah, I noticed. It's a veritable plague of Glob(s) this evening.

ok, this post has now convinced me that "Globalist" tier status name is a very bad idea. I was willing to go along with it at first, but now I see that nobody wants to be called a Glob. I must admit, in all my stays this year, only one hotel check-in agent recognized my "Globalist" status out loud.

Everybody avoids saying it. I think maybe I would rather be called a MOAB at this point, as long as I can get consistent suite upgrades and free bottled water.
