NA - Names for Groups

[Half Fast]

It seems that there are some unique names for certain groupings, words that have a completely different meaning in other contexts yet are nevertheless used to denote certain groups. A school of fish. A pride of lions. A murder of crows.

Yet there are many other groups that, to date, are lacking such interesting names. I believe the brilliant, inventive minds of PoA members could help resolve that issue, thereby improving the English language and rendering a service to humanity.

I'll kick us off with a few, and then you can add your suggestions.

How about.....

A brag of pilots.​

A lie of politicians.​

A nuisance of regulations.​

A nag of wives.​

A cry of babies.​

Your turn!
