Whats a group of congressmen called?…..

No, a group of baboons is called either a troop or a flange! Though, Gary’s definition fits it perfectly!!

/SHMIRK/

If there are only two crows, it’s an attempted murder.

It seems like it may be interesting to note that he has trouble with the bird group names (They don’t make sense to him.). The only one that seems to make sense is the non-bird group name.

… (As in), we can see things (negative things) in others (those that are more different from ourselves), but not see them (negative things) in ourselves (or those more like ourselves).

A group of scorpions is called something to be avoided!

Snicker and Sneer ignorantly and denigrate all that Putintells you to. Please try to remember, as a group they arein ‘charge of’ retuning massive amounts of YOUR money to YOU and yourneighbors…..and the STUPID, hateful ones are BLOCKINGTHE RETURN TO you…..

See how successful you traitors are? And you didn’t even know it…..if you DID, I want you HUNG. YUP.

That’s giving Congress too much credit and being disrespectful to Baboons.

Best comment ‘Skylar’ has made in his class in a LLOOOONNNGGG time ! ! !

No matter who wins, we all lose.

Nancy Baboon, Chuck Baboon oh my god he’s right!

Go here for all name calling: https://www.almanac.com/kids/animal-group-names#:~:text=What%20to%20call%20a%20group%20of%20animals%3F%20,troop%20of%20baboons%20%2061%20more%20rows%20

yep.

Do we all realize that the only modern use of collective nouns is making lists of collective nouns?

“Poli” means “many” and “tics” are blood-sucking insects. Hope that helps. :-)

I find all these specialized names a pompous concept. Crows, ravens, geese… they’re all birds that come in flocks. Why make things more complicated than they have to be?

Got that one right, but they are in disguise as people until elected!

There’s also ‘a bungling of bureaucrats’.

a group of congressmen is called a bribe

Do you know what they call a group of collective nouns? B.S.

And a gathering of alligators is called a congregation (I’m a retired pastor)

A group of hastily drawn characters: A comic strip.

According to Marx (Groucho, that is), that would be an insult to the rest of the baboons.

That’s an insult to Baboons.

Something I’ve said for a long time. But really? Unkindness for a group of ravens? Who in the world comes up with these names for groups? A group of pandas is called an embarrassment.

Oh, and if you want a “murder of crows” to make sense, just watch Alfred Hitchcock’s movie “The Birds.”

A group of Karens is called a “complaint.”

I googled animal group names. One thing I found interesting, a group of frogs is an army. But frogmen are in the navy. Hmmm.

I found a fun collective noun link. https://www.geeknative.com/42471/supernatural-collective-nouns/
