rat pack
Scurrying mob together
A rat pack is a group of people who associate closely, often with connotations of rowdiness or petty troublemaking.
The term suggests a scrappy, tight-knit crew moving together: a rat pack of teenagers hanging around the mall.
Capitalized, the Rat Pack refers specifically to Frank Sinatra's circle of entertainers in the 1950s and 60s, including Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.
