This conversation from the long weekend really does deserve a post all of it's own. A few of us were sitting around playing Trivial Pursuit on Saturday and one of the questions spurred an interesting conversation, one that, oddly enough, I had been a part of before. On this day, however, we took it to a whole new level.
Here's the question...if you have a group of certain animals and it itsn't called a herd, what's it called? If you want to sound really educated, ask what the collective noun would be for specific animal types and see what people say.
Remember, this isn't Trivial Pursuit but a random conversation starter inspired by the game.
Here's some of my personal favorites:
A group of Rhinos...a crash. Ironically, they are one of the fastest moving animals in relation to their size but can only see about 3 feet ahead of them because their eyesight is so bad. What would a group of rhinos running really fast do...they'd crash! Smart, huh!?
okay, here's more:
A group of buzzards...a committee. Anyone thinking of one too many committee meetings?
A group of cats...a clutter. No kidding!!!
A group of coakroachers...an intrusion. Tee hee.
A group of parrots is company...oops...a company.
Anyway, we chatted through a whole bunch of them and then my friend, Kim, asked "hey, what would a group of donkeys be?"
We all thought about it and decided that it should probably be herd, like horses or zebras. We checked the internet but couldn't find anything there either. So much for technology.
Kim decided she had an answer though....
"How 'bout a whole lotta ass!?"
Love you, Kim! Thanks.
That 'bout sums up my weekend :)
