Collective Nouns
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
