FUN with Collective Nouns
 
I was Googling for a list of different collective nouns of animals trying to determine which would fit a group of LoTters. I ultimately went for the alliteration - A Litter of LoTters. But, in searching, I found this glorious list of all the collective nouns for animals. Fascinating stuff!

In particular, I enjoyed these variations:

clowder of cats
clutter of cats
glaring of cats
pounce of cats
dout of cats (house cats)
nuisance of cats (house cats)
kendle of cats (kittens)
kindle of cats (kittens)
litter of cats (kittens)
destruction of cats (wild cats)


The rest of the side looks like it might provide hours of distracting fun as well.

Oooh!
Proprietary Eponyms

Heroin had a trademark at one time?

I am surprised by some of the trademarks:

  • Fiberglass
  • Freon
  • Kitty Litter

I read the thread title as Fun with Collective Nuns and had a flashback to a recent "flashing" incident. It made me giggle.
