Not original; I heard it on CBC radio: An apology of Canadians.
A raffle of lotto winners
A failing of presidents
A boom of terrorists
A Graham of Google ads
fifty-six, why Graham?
I was trying to think of a collective something.
So I did a bit of surfing (checked the 35+tabs I had open. To get some ideas.)
And noticed the glut of Google adds.
I considered a gogol of Google ads or something of the like but it was not to clever.
So in an attempt to be more clever I decided to find a another named number to describe a collective of Google ads.
So I used a name of a an inconceivably large number to describe the ads of a company named after another large number. The funny twist is that Graham seems like something small. The ads are not generally annoying (small) but they are sure numerous. (large)
A vocabulary of collective nouns.
I was going to start a new thread on the subject, but this 18 yo old is amusing anyway. For once the “Your thread is similar to” bot was actually right.
I’ve long thought that a murder of crows didn’t make any sense and anyone who has walked down a street full ought to agree with "a caucus (cawcus?) of crows. Then recently I started to think that a herd of red birds certainly ought to be called “a conclave of cardinals”.
What can you add?
A whatever of teenagers.
A clod of managers.
A bribe of politicians.
A gathering of “Magic: The Gathering” cards.
