Collective nouns

[DebbieTheCat]

Here is a 'loveliness' of ladybirds* on my dahlia plant...

What other collective nouns are suitably apt?
I love a murmuration of starlings and a parliament of owls.

*a bit poetic licence as there are only five in the pic, and not hundreds 😅

A Baloney of politicians.

I also heard "puffling" on QI ages ago ...

A slalom of potholes.

Apparently it’s a creep of tortoises, which I like. And also for domestic rats - a mischief of rats, rather than the slightly less cuddly plague of rats for their feral siblings.

I'm liking these ones 😄

What would be the collective noun for a group of MNs?

What's the collective noun for collective nouns?

An arbitrariness of collective nouns? A Victorianism? An eclecticism? A playfulness?

A harpie ?

A gossip of MNs
A sigh of MNs
A grumble of MNs
A drama of MNs

A blessing of narwhals ❤️

That’s lovely @Flozle , not heard of that one before!

Back to the MNs, what about a flounce of MNs?

I thought that was a baby puffin! It really suits them anyway - little balls of fluff.

I thought we were a nest of vipers?

A charm of goldfinches is one of my favourites.

A tick of auditors.

A pearl-clutch of MNers.

An impossibility of MNers
A whatthefuckery of MNers
A collective of MNers
An incomprehensible of MNers.

An argument of work meetings

I thought it was a whoop of gorilla's and a flange of baboons....

A zephyr of bumbarrels
(That’s the country name for long-tailed tits)

That’d be a flounce of STBX-MNers.

A bloat of hippopotami

A doss of students

I love to see a murmuration .

Autistic DS is currently fixated on collective nouns. My favourite so far is a snuggle of sloths.
