Knowledge of English

[retired2]

The English language has some wonderfully

anthropomorphic collective nouns for the

various groups of animals.

We are all familiar with a
Herd of cows,


Flock of chickens,


School of fish


And a Gaggle of geese, and




A Pride of lions.


However, less widely known is:

A Murder of crows

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

YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!

Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?
