The stick-in-the-mud side of my brain says "squashes" but the age-twelve side says "squashim" sounds most appropriate. I think a dictionary (http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=squashes) would probably agree with the stick-in-the-mud side, though...

Or, like, squashia?

Squashia. Squashia. Hmm.

Or it could be like in Japanese, which doesn't have plurals; a samurai, some samurai, a field of samurai. A squash, some squash, a field of squash...

At least in England (as far as I'm aware), the plural is Squash, just like sheep and such :)

I would have gone for "squashiot", myself.

What's the collective noun then? (verb/adjective/whatever)

A murder of crows
A flock of sheep
A yoyo of squishy?

[juuro.livejournal.com]

A pickle of squashiot?

A squash is like a fish, and squash are like fish, and squashes are like fishes.

I think the plural of squash, in American English anyway, is squash. It's a non-count noun, like sheep, or equipment.

I do believe it's squash. But since I can't stand the little buggers, I don't worry about it too much.

Seriously, both squash and squashes are acceptable plural forms of the noun, squash.
