goldens
Friendly yellow labs' cousins
Goldens is informal shorthand for golden retrievers, the popular breed of large, friendly dogs with cream to gold coats: The dog park was full of goldens this morning.
Less commonly, goldens can refer to other things designated golden—golden apples, golden ales, or golden years.
