During a pretty ordinary conversation between myself and Mr RSAB2 we got talking about collective nouns for different animals, for example:
A parliament of owls,
An ostentation of peacocks
A company of widgeons
A murder of crows
A prickle of hedgehogs.

:boo: I was wondering if you great people out their could come up with a few new ones.
I'll start - how about:
a parade of pricks?
hows about a pontificality of Prelates
An observance of Hermits
An execution of Officers
A gaggle of women
A safeguard of porters
A skulk of thieves
a drift of Fishermen
a sublety of Sargeants
a poverty of pipers
a murmuration of starlings
an exaltation of larks

Oooooo - Gilbert you are very good at this.

Now we're talking.
How about a brace of bonkers?
a shag of cormorants
Gil
That's the idea!
Good work people, keep it up!

For this site the actually collective nouns might be appropriate
A BEVY of Beauties
A THICKET of Idiots
A CROWD of Onlookers
An ANTHOLOGY of Poems
A HOST of Angels
and of course a MOB of Kangaroos
But as quiz compiler and knower of many things you need not know I have to ask if you know the name for a collection of collective nouns???

I have to tel you that I have some really good builders in at the moment - but getting them here in the first place was a major effort - that's probably because they're so much in demand. Such is life! No offence meant lol
