Collective Nouns

We're all used to collective nouns and use them without thinking on a daily basis:-

"What an amazing sight - a herd of cattle"
"Now there's a thing - a shoal of kippers"
"Wow! Did you see that flock of psychedelic sheep"

You get the picture.
So I'm thinking it might be interesting to develop the English language a little. If we can come up with some new collective nouns and they become common usage we may well one day find them in the Oxford English Dictionary.

Personally I like collective nouns that reflect some quality of the individuals in the collection but that certainly isn't necessary.

So my contribution is a shuffle of pensioners. Or a giggle of vodka drinkers..
Anyone got an idea for a group of Mohos?
Or anything else that tickles your fancy?

A coven of motorhomers???? No????

Sounds good. Depending, of course, on who's present!

Please keep them coming - and any collective you want, not only Mohos.

A coven of motorhomers???? No????

No that would suit a coven of vodka drinkers.

Toilet cassettes are an abomination
The scourge of public conveniences
The work of the devil that have no place in a motorhome

Toilet cassettes are an abomination
The scourge of public conveniences
The work of the devil that have no place in a motorhome

So would that be:-

1. An abomination of cassettes or
2. A scourge of cassettes or possibly
3. A devil of cassettes?

Only Charlie knows.
What suggestions do you have?

Colin ???

 

[Robmac]

Maybe a Slurry of cassettes?
