A Group of .... Is called a ....

I just read a piece from an email subscription of which I belong. It listed the following “groups”.
- A group of unicorns is called a blessing.
- Twelve or more cows are known as a flink.
- A group of frogs is called an army.
- A group of rhinos is called a crash.
- A group of kangaroos is called a mob.
- A group of whales is called a pod.
- A group of geese is called a gaggle.
- A group of ravens is called a murder.
- A group of officers is called a mess.
- A group of larks is called an exaltation.
- A group of owls is called a parliament.

That being said, we are missing a great opportunity here. Here are a few I’d like to start using on a daily basis.

- A group of 15 year old slacker boys should be called a loaf.
- A group of 12 year old girls at a birthday party sleepover should be called a shriek.
- The water-cooler crowd at the office should be a rumor.
- Two or more adults all posting their whereabouts by cell phones at the same time should be called a twitter. (Oh, wait)
- More than three winemakers together in a room should be called a spit. Or (this one is not mine), terroirists.
- If you are a Mac, your friends are all Macs, and you all talk Mac together you are a core.
- Smokers huddled together outside of bars should be a cloud.
