stags

Antlered forest males

Stags is the plural of stag—male deer, especially red deer.

The word extends to men attending social events without female companions: a stags-only poker night.

Stag parties (or stag dos in British English) are pre-wedding celebrations for the groom.

In finance, stags are speculators who buy new share issues hoping to sell immediately at profit.
