Hi all,
As we have such collective nouns as a coven of ravens, a frolic of otters and of course a parliament of owls. (In fact there is a collective noun for "three cows together in a lea"!) As people always want order in things, has anybody got some appropriate collective nouns for people?
Such as;
A confusion of advisors
An abberation of interest rates
A school of bankers
A thong of Brazilian beach goers?
Regards
Rob
A fanfare of strumpets.
A forum of lunatics? :p
A brace of woodworkers
A gaggle of housewives
A shock of electricians
A barrow of brickies.
A grout of tilers.
A quack of doctors.
A Cute Collection of Carpenters of course!
A wobble of woodturners?
A reciprocation of scrollsawyers?
scumbags
wankers
pollies
Everything new is old again, this subject has been done before.
PS. Alex, where did you see them? :trumpet:
A scrum of sheilas?
Pride of loins:doh:
And one I saw recently 'A wunch of bankers'.
A clot of doctors
A lie of lawyers
A tirade of telemarketers
An embargo of emails
A bent of Gumbies
A giggle of girls
A bully of boys
a mess of toddlers
a folly of fools
an asylum of parents
a geek of IT workers
Hi All, my first post after lurking here for ages, but I couldn't resist mentioning my favourite:
An anthology of prostitutes.
Cheers,
Big Mack
A geometry of Octopus
A dinner dance of Penguins
A blink of Opticians
A knitting of eyebrows
A vanishing of black holes
a spank of sadists
A flicker of tongues
A laugh of comedians
A pod of whales
A pack of dogs
A herd of sheep
a hob of brickies,
an elbow of plumbers,
a trowel of plasterers,
a mix of bakers,
a blessing of priests,
a nattering of nuns,
a wallow of wankers, and so on
not to mention
A cluster of stoned rockers
A bank of chiselers
A nest of thieves
and
A stumped pride....that is the british lion 5.0
cheers:)
The plural of 'Octopus' is 'Octopodes' :p :p :p :p
A scope of astronomers
A cylinder of anaesthetists
A staff of pianists
Wouldn't "A thong of birds on a Brazilian beach" be better?Quote:
