A group of what?

Postby allseeingyak » Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:13 pm

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows,
a Flock of chickens,
a School of fish
and a Gaggle of geese.

However, less widely known is:
a Pride of lions,

a Murder of crows
(as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),

an Exaltation of doves

and, presumably because they look so wise:
a Congress of owls.
Now consider a group of Baboons.
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?
?
?

Believe it or not ……. a Parliament

A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
I guess that pretty much explains
the things that come out from the Parliament

You just can’t make this stuff up.
