Collective Nouns

Anyone know what a collective noun is? It's like a Pride of Lions. Or the lesser known Scurry of Squirrels or a Zeal of Zebras. For a class project today, a little grammar thingy, I was instructed to make some of these, just for fun. So here are mine...

 

A squishle of jellyfish

A spray of boats

A crunch of rocks

A burst of fireflies

A pinch of crabs

A slash of scorpions

A scoff of mockers

A scorn of laywers

A blast of cannons

A strike of nails

A spin of discs

A Nazi of grammar teachers

 

Like these? Make your own. Let's here what outrageous things we can come up with :D

Haha, how about a pinch of salt. :P

Maybe a pinch of halophiles instead? Anyway, I could only think of one: An inferno of dinoflagelates.
