Following on from Ern's question about the collective term for a group of teapots I thought it might be a good idea to delve further into this world of collectives.
We all know about a paliament of owls, a murder of crows and a business of ferrets.
How about a group of girls? A giggle perhaps.
A group of dentists? A brace?
Cardiologists? A heartbeat? a flutter?
The field is yours!
A cyclone of wood machinists
A lop of arborists
A mask of turners
A bench of chairmakers
A cabinet of furniture makers
A scrible of pen turners
A consent of moderators
A FIGJAM of psychologists
an Addle of Administrators?
a "GREAT DEAL"!! of used car salesmen
a plethora of lispers
an amalgum of dentists
a tenet of palindromers,
all googled btw
That one does it for me.Quote:

See Watson, give you directions and you CAN get there - or here!:p
Maybe a crown of dentists or a bridge of dentists
A crash of Rhinos ( not mine< I read that somewhere )
A certainty of experts.
A number of mathematicians.
An excuse of politicians.
A waddle of ducks.
A circus of galahs.
A tweet of twitterers
Love your plethora of lispers UF.:2tsup:
Try this as a real lispers tongue twister : Cecil is a thistle sifter, Cecil's sister is a thistle sifter too.
What's a lisp? That's what happens when you limph.
