English Language by Thelmerh(f): 6:38am On Jul 04, 2015
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
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 Congress 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 Parliament
A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
I guess that pretty much explains the things that
come out from the Parliament!
