Sometimes when we have nothing better to do at work, my friend Grace and I try to think of collective nouns. Sometimes we find real but obscure ones, like
a murder of crows
a parliament of owls
and sometimes we make up silly ones like
a disobedience of schoolchildren
a sulk (or an angst) of teenagers
a shush of librarians
a hop of bunnies.
So I have two questions. Is English the only language that has so many specific collective nouns? Do you know (or can you make up) any good ones?
