You know about a covey of quail & a herd of buffalo otherwise known as collective nouns. But what collective nouns do we use for a group of taxi cabs, computer mice, lawyers, etc. Here are some suggestions:
a whatever of teenagers
a spider of webmasters
an objection of lawyers
a brief of lawyers.
a circle of geometricians
a wildcard of hackers
a monica of sins
a clutch of mechanics
a stoppit of parents
a drove of taxi cabs
a wad of gum-chewers
a clique of computer mice
an imelda of shoes
a grab-bag of purse-snatchers
a ______ of nihilists
a giggle of girls
a somephony of music critics
an ear of colonels
a duke of URLs
