collective [chat]

there are lots of good collective nouns.

https://books.google.ca/books?id=aHhP_7zOG8wC&printsec=frontcover&dq=compendium+of+collective+nouns&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjd4se_nrjSAhVL34MKHdclDqAQ6AEIHDAA#v=onepage&q=compendium of collective nouns&f=false

-a parliament of owls

-a neverthriving of jugglers
-an ooze of amoebas
-a bouquet of hummingbirds
-an imposition of in-laws
-a shrewdness of apes
-a romp of otters
-a prickle of porcupines

but it seems to me that after people learned about funny collective nouns, they just started making up more of them on purpose, essentially colonizing the untamed wilds of the plural. does this mean they've lost some of their charm?

hard questions. hard questions.

    10 and 5, RMS. They can take my right to usurp from my cold dead hands and I can get away with this because it's 8:30 on the west coast and SIG probably isn't online yet :P

    and as we previously established, if a mod isn't around to infract you right away they can't do it later cuz you're like a puppy

    you won't associate the infraction with the improper behavior

    Goddamnit. I went to feed my ex's cats this morning and her hand soap by the sink was scented and I didn't notice. And what's worse. It's one of the things I despise most. Food smells on not food. Now my hands smell like apple cinnamon. She turned the label around so that I'd use it. I know it. :p
