rhumba time
January 18, 2007
I enjoy learning the official terms for groups of creatures.
a pod of whales, a drove of cattle, a gaggle of geese. a shrewdness of apes, a cowardice of curs, a pack of wolves. an obstinacy of buffalo, a prickle of porcupines, a business of flies.
I don’t enjoy when, as soon as the subject is breached, some pseudosnot has to blow their wad, informing everyone that a group of crows is referred to as “a murder.” If one more asshole imparts this obnoxious factoid I’m gonna rage like a rhumba of rattlesnakes.
