HOW MANY COLLECTIVE NOUNS DO YOU KNOW ??? SURPRISE !!!

!!!!



 

 
Subject:  Will increase your animal knowledge - Collective Nouns

       
                        
           
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 Parliament of owls.

 
Now consider a group of Baboons. Baboons 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 Congress !
(Note: I hadn't heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct.)



A CONGRESS OF BABOONS !
That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington!
You just can't make this stuff up.
