Collective nouns

[Sundae]

Synchronicity!
We did collective nouns at school today. One of the tables was set the task of making up their own collective nouns.
Not my table, they had trouble identifying singular and plural nouns. Or in some cases, any nouns. Ah well.

It reminded me of when I first realised that some of the more outre collective nouns really were no different than the familiar ones.
A pride of lions. It wasn't a bisemous word, it was the same one.
It was a revelation at the time.

Anyway.
