Collective Noun Game

[livejournal.com profile] evildoom_bunny and I have invented a new game, during a moment of extreme bordeom.

It's the Collective Noun Game

You know how a group of owls is called a Parliament, and you have a Murder of Crows, a Cloud of Grasshoppers - they're all collective nouns. But there a lots of thing which don't have collective nouns. The game is to think of a group, then think of a name for it!

Some examples we thought up:

A Bastard of Lawyers.
A Cache of Nerds
A Carrot of Vegetarians
A Posse of Bears.
A Gloom of Goths.
Etc. etc. etc.

You get the idea. Here are some groups for ya:

Engineers.
Trams.
Potatoes.
Grandfather Clocks.
MP3s.
Turtles.
Bassoonists.
(Insert your own here.)

Here's some more examples from the Wikipedia: A through K and M through Z.

Enjoy!
