Dear WinkWorld Readers,
This post is specifically for teachers, who just want to have a little fun with words today in class.
FUN WITH WORDS
A bunch of kids
A patch of menders
A herd of horses
A pack of dogs
A gaggle of geese
A clutch of chickens
A school of fish
A charm of goldfish
A covey of parrots
A stitch of quilter
A litter of cubs
A ruffle of lacemakers
A gang of elk
A colony of ants
A pod of butterflies
A swarm of eels
A knot of toads
A rhumba of rattlesnakes (However, we never say that when we see one.)
A worship of writers
An equivocation of politicians
A consort of corgis
A congress of baboons
A stitch of lace
A murder of crows
A rash of dermatologists
A multitude of mushrooms
A friendship of women (Ok, it’s true: I made up that one.)
A pile of cats.
.
(Can’t make up that one.)
Thank you, Rose from SD; Betty from AZ; and Dwight from NB for sharing a few of these with us. I know you can find these on the web, but it really is more fun to discover them in the context of reading or conversation with others.
