The English Language
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
A Gaggle of Geese
However, there are some less known collective nouns.
A Pride of Lions
A Murder of Crows
and their cousins, the Rooks and Ravens.
An Exultation of Doves
and presumably because they look so wise,
A Parliament 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 CONGRESS OF BABOONS!
And all along, I thought this was a Congress.
How did I get it so wrong?……Or did I?
That would explain much of what comes out of Washington, Canberra and London…..
You just can’t make this stuff up.
