We’ve all heard of “gaggle of geese”, “murder of crows”, “exaltation of larks”, pride of lions", etc… What would be some good group names for humans?
I like the following:
a Cassandra of Environmentalists
a Futility of Educators
a Techno of Gays
an Annoyance of Pundits
an Eisenhower of Retirees
a Sensitivity of Liberals
an Apathy of Conservatives

Though with some flamers, I wonder if “An Inferno of Gays” wouldn’t be a more fitting grouping.
I was thinking about this in Cafe Society the other day – what do you call fantasy fans (i.e., those whose only cinematic plans for the next three weeks involve “The Two Towers”) when they travel en masse?
A Confusion of Hamlets. (My title for a cheat-sheet about differences between the three texts of the play, but it could probably apply just as well to the collected film versions, or whatever.)
And in the same vein:
A dismemberment of Titus Andronicuses. (Titi Andronici?)

Nerd Herd was popular in my high school.
I’ve grown to prefer Otaku, for the Japanesse slang for Fan-boy.
