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?

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???

Quote by gilbert
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

Brilliant Gilbert, my friend, ( and 10 out of 10 for noticing the new Mod as well - very observant - we'll have to watch out!)

an absence of builders?
a procrastination of delivery men
an 'I've got some bad news' of plumbers?
what about a sucking in of breath through teeth of builders coming to estimate .. ( or of second hand car sellers)
a column of accountants
a stud of poker players
a mass of priests
a mutter of mothers in law
a flap of nuns
a leer of boys
a sample of salesmen
a pummel of massuers
a ring of jewellers an unction of undertakers
a wince of dentsists
a lot of used car dealers
a shrewdness or apes
all are terms of venery

A confusion of graduate trainee managers. (If you worked where I work you'd understand 
)
A deception of sales reps.
An embarassment of England footballers.
A wobble of 'naturists'.

A rash of nettles.
A panic of England goalkeepers
A monotony of rappers
A vacuum of BB contestants
A nanny of EU regulations

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
