A Snorkel of Weasels

[tinhuvielartanis]

I originally did this in the embryonic days of the Cliffs of Insanity, and now I can't find it, so I'm doing it again, which proves that everything always cycles back around. The original post had to do with groups of animals and what those groups were called. For instance, there's a gaggle of geese and a murder of crows, so on and so forth. The two big group names I invented were a Snorkel of Weasels and a Scream of Millipedes.

That said, hit me with your best group names. It doesn't even have to be animals. It can be a group of people, too, like a Bastard of Republicans for instance. Now, it's your turn. Comments are wide open for even anonymous replies!

i didn't make this one up myself, but : a murder of terrorists.

So crows and terrorist have some things in common. I'll let Randall Flagg know.

How about these:
A Mischief of Muses
A Conflagration of Fire Ants
A Conspiracy of Cats
A Pestilence of Pundits
A Gloom of Goths
A Perfidy of Plot Bunnies

That's all I got so far.

All bloody brilliant, but I'd expect nothing less from you.

A lap of vampire bats
A weave of spiders

How visually stimulating!

a bastard of republicans for the win

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Thanks. That one just came to me when I wrote this up. To be fair, I guess a group of Dems would be.... a Wimp of Liberals. And I wrote that through virtual gritted teeth.

>:| liberals arent wimps. democrats maybe, but not liberals. remember, anyone can be a liberal, and they tend to be like bulldogs.

soooo ... a kennel of liberals?

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

LOL, well more like Pit Bulls, at least this Liberal anyway. I like the way you think. Besides, I was using a bit of artistic license there 'cos a Wimp of Democrats doesn't roll of the tongue like a Wimp of Liberals does.

Official Collective Nouns are listed by the Oxford English Dictionary. I always liked a Wunch of Bankers.

I love the fact that all my friends here are word fans.
