Group of People

While GANG is most commonly used to refer to a group of adolescents or organized criminals, it is also widely used to refer to any group of people. For example:
  • Sam: I'm going to the cinema with the GANG from work.
  • Ali: You should go see the new Spiderman movie. I took my little sister with a GANG of her friends from school. It was great!
