What is a group of collective nouns called?

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 :D

A confusion.

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

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

:edit: a cheekiness of fake edits.
