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! cc lalasticlala. cc ishilove |
