Believing that the best education leads to the best understanding,
I thought you might find this interesting.
Anthropomorphic Nouns
I thought this might be boring, but stick with it. You'll love the ending.
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 Parliament of owls
Now consider a group of Baboons.
Baboons 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 Congress!
(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it
up. It is correct).
A CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
That pretty much explains the things
that
come out !
You just can't make this stuff up.
