What is a group of collective nouns called?

[Angilion]

A thicket of idiots is just more aptly descriptive than a bunch of idiots.

I'm trying to think of a collective noun for a heap of mag's posts

A confusion.

EDIT: Scratch that. I think "a confection" would be better.

A Fawkes of conspiracy theorists

i remember being told a group of jellyfish is a 'smack'
i think flamingo's is a flamboyance too...

Not sure if it says more about me, but I read the title originally as ' what is a group of collective nonces called'

Sounds like a bunch of pro-nouns.


Hehehe.

I believe it is a Prince Andrew of nonces.

It is an Attenborough of collective nouns.

I believe it is a Prince Andrew of nonces.

It is an Attenborough of collective nouns.

I think it's now been redefined as a Huw of nonces.

I once encountered 3 police officers chatting, I asked what a group of police was known as. The quick-witted reply was "In this case a confusion".

A freezing of pensioners.

Is my thought of the day.

A bag of lettuce
A bunch of lettuce
Or is it a salad?

Trying to define a collective noun of tory MPs is quite problematic, it’s obvious that ineptitude of this calibre is quite rare.

Sounds like a bunch of pro-nouns..

Certainly imperfect.

I wouldn't describe myself as Pro-Noun. I'm more of an adverb guy. Take any verb, and -ly and you've got an adverb, easy, simple, classic.

You are trying too hard if you have to explain.

It is just a lettuce.

Apparently it is a "clattering" of jackdaws.

This seems highly accurate.

a bunch of muppets

Group of chocolate lovers, a bunch of cocoanuts.

A sigh of users.
A relief of deleted posts.
An annoyance of RTMs.
