Benny Goodman was one of the giants of the clarinet in the jazz world. I can only think of a handful of guys working in jazz right now who are worth listening on the clarinet.

After a recent trip to Disney World I came up with the follow nicknames for various groups I encountered:

Obstacles – a group of old people walking together.
Sheep – a group of people all wearing the same shirt (i.e. the Robertson family)
Concrete barriers – a group of people (normally older) who have all stopped to take a photo of the same thing
Screamers – kids under the age of four
Dreamers – parents who bring multiple kids under the age of four to an amusement park
Death Eaters – smokers
Law Breakers – Death Eaters doing their thing outside of their specified zone
Geniuses – an adult couple in the park without kids
Go Karters – old people on motorized carts
Tethers – people with kids who walk sloooow.
Paranormals – a seemingly content and normal group or family

I came up with two other terms to describe acts that occur at amusement parks:

Big fun – the act of standing in line for 45 minutes in the heat.
Death March – Walking around an amusement park on consecutive days
