I need some help from all of you. I hoped to find a thread here on group nouns, but perhaps I was looking in the wrong place. Anyway, I am doing a piece of fiber art, a series actually, that involves group nouns. I have nearly finished a murder of crows and will have a picture on my blog soon. I need some more. I don't want "real" ones; I want clever ones. For example: a sermon of preachers. But I would like them to be as visual as possible. | ||

I found this old thread with quite a few clever ones, started by you, funny enough, about two years ago. https://wordcraft.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/41060069.../184108636#184108636 FWIW, my favorite is "'Ell, no, Guv'nors, it was a feathering of 'ores!" | |||

Here is a more recent thread on the topic: https://wordcraft.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/410600694/m/4051033092 :-) I still really like: a tottering of giraffes a crash of rhinocerous a twittering of girls and KHC's a shush of librarians ******* "Happiness is not something ready made.

CW, I liked your "A case of lawyers." We could probably come up with some more for her. A scalpel of surgeons? | |||

Oh, these are wonderful. I'm doing this series of little quilts, wall hangings really, about 8x10. I can just see a hoe of farmers. The murder of crows was/is actually rather gorey. Poor crows... More please. Thank you! | |||
