A plurality of collectives
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.
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

See Watson, give you directions and you CAN get there - or here!
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.
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.

Not a collective, but surely something rhymes with banker.......
although the ANZ have given new meaning to 'a line of credit'
