And before some idiot pedant attempts to WRONGLY correct me and tell me that the proper is "Elvi", Sir, you are ignorant.
Elvis is third declension, and takes the -es nominative plural ending. Ahem.
so who makes 28mm Elvises? |

Foreign names are usually indeclinable. But if it did decline would likely go to Elves, slight chance for Elvides.

"Elvi" comes from a classic Saturday Night Live sketch in which Dan Ackroyd and John Belushi both played Elvis Impersonators in a single act, Ackroyd was the "Young Elvis", while Belushi played "The King", "after he discovered carbohydrates". |

Everyone knows the collective noun is E.L.V.I.S.: Enormous Las Vegas Impersonators Society. |

John, Here in New Orleans, it's Elvi, as in Krewe of Rolling Elvi. We're in the midst of Carnival Season and Mardi Gras is Feb. 9: vimeo.com/75658754 |
