Inspired by the quote from "Not the 9 o'clock news" I found this Web site.

A sowse of lions, my word...

    "PACK of flaming galahs"

    Clutch of chicks but
    "???? of chooks"

    A "Baloney of Bigfoot?" or "cast of bigfoot?"
    No ! Seriously Malaysia might have some according to the locals who need some tourist dollars.

    Note that the Aussies have a "Congregation of Crocodiles" and a "Lounge of Lizards" but there's no collective for "Alligators"!

    MCSF! any suggestions?
    a "Swamp" or "Nest"

    and no collective for LAWYERS or leeches:
    a plague of lawyers, a leech of lawyers?
    a rash of attorneys?
    a chamber of leeches?

    isn't it just perfectly acceptable to say a "swarm of crows" as opposed to a "storytelling" or a "murder" of crows?
  • Dr_Spin
    No! A murder is correct and much more colourful.

    Crows don't swarm.
    Here we murder them every so often with a crow shoot.
    I dropped a few, years back when I was armed and dangerous!

    "and no collective for LAWYERS or leeches: "

    Hey Doc, I think you can use the same term for each of these little bastards. Actually I prefer leeches, at least they have a use. Then again I 'spose lawyers do to, you may need to kick something and the cat is too far away.

    F%$#*NG lawyers.
