Some genuine collective nouns:

A malapertness of pedlars
A murmuration of starlings
A wilderness of monkeys
A chattering of choughs
A bench of bishops
A barren of mules
A pontification of priests
A rag of colts
An exaltation of larks
A drift of swine
A drunkship of cobblers
A glozing of taverners (!)
A nye of pheasants

How about a paroxysm of politicians? :blush:

And, since we seem to be turning personal, :giggle: , can you imagine a hexagon of Lexicos, a yodel of Tsuyoikos (can you yodel?), a sensuality of Sensuikan-sans, a vacuum of Voids?
