We all know that a group of crows is called a murder. But, while perusing lists of random shit in the back of my thesaurus, I learned the following names for groups of animals (and some of my own comments):
baboons: congress (don't fucking get me started)
bears: sloth (that's just needlessly insulting to bears. I suggest a "colbert")
birds: dissimulation, flight, volary (uh, flock?)
boars: singular, sounder (Singular? A group of anything is called a singular?)
eagles: convocation (eagles are pretty stuck-up)
ferrets: business (just weird)
hedgehogs: prickle (why not call a group of kittens an "adorable?)
owls: parliament, wisdom (I dare you to find these in use anywhere)
polar bears: aurora (now you're just being cutesy)
rhinoceroses: crash (ok, now you're being cute)
skunks: stench (alright, fuck you)
turtledoves: pitying (is that even the right tense? It's like being named a present tense verb. I'm looking at you, Sting)
unicorns: blessing (whatever)
