A murder of crows, and other animal group names

Surely its:

An sue of penises

:smiley:

A listing of programmers.
A puzzle of analysts.
A muddle of managers.
A pounding of data entry clerks.
An exasperation of users.

I’m blanking on this one. A smooch of herpes?

I am thinking very little of it as I post.

My grammar pals came up with “an agreement of grammarians.”

HA! I read this the “right” way first and was confused by being told to think about it, then I caught it out of the corner of my eye and realized how it should read. :slight_smile:

Interesting! Thanks, everybody. How about:

A disputation of Dopers.
A cecil of Dopers.
A draggle of Dopers.
A hi-opal of Dopers.
An airplane-on-a-treadmill of Dopers.
A doration of Dopers (think about it!)

I like to refer to groups of snowboarders plunked down on their butts fastening their bindings as a ‘pod’ or a ‘raft’.

I’d always described them as “a collection of pros.”

From this thread – http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=5845626:

an abomination of demons

an unobtanium of unicorns

a nubility of nymphs

an orgy of satyrs

a shitstorm of pegasi

I prefer a “flourish of strumpets” myself…

A haggle of shopkeepers.

A jackpot of gamblers.

For the record, one more variation (don’t remember where I saw it):

An anthology of pros. :smiley:
