What is the plural of a "people person"?

"People people" sounds wrong. So does "people persons." Ack.

I dunno, I kinda like the perseveration of "people people."

Person people?

Personable people who appreciate other people?

Not sure. "Person" is one of those words that just starts sounding like a non-word the more I repeat it.

"Social butterflies". ;)

the plural of 'people person'? why, it's obvious: "a group of truly annoying, falsely smiling people."

Development.

More generally: extroverts.

I would just avoid using the plural like the plague.

I have made a practice of avoiding certain phrases and grammatical issues in Irish; why not move on to English, as well?

It will make you look thoughtful as you scramble for an alternative.

"the luckiest people"?

Great, now I have Barbra Streisand in my head, of all people. Just ridiculous.

"Everyone of them is a people person" is the correct plural. ;)

Er..."Every one of them is a people person." Sorry. My roommate was talking to me. :p

Two options spring to my mind -- "More than one people person" and "Personable people". Not sure the latter is quite the same concept, though.

Each to his or her own, but whenever I heard "people person" I think about Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer. Same for -- along the principle of "vegetarian" -- "humanitarian."
