Colorful Language Update



I've touched on this before but it deserves another visit: the vivid names which are applied to groups of animals and birds.

Several are marvelous:

  • A murder of crows.
  • A bask of crocodiles.
  • A shiver of sharks.
  • A smack of jellyfish.
These business-related ones are also well-done:

  • A business of ferrets.
  • A company of parrots.
