In the lexicon of odd collective names for creatures, I always thought a “giggle” should mean three or more adolescent girls.
A gaggle of geese
A collection of boys of similar age should be a “glob.”
Just saying.

Yup. There was a book, back in the 1970s (I think) called “A Trumpet of Swans” which had thousands of these. It must be long out of print because I can’t find it and have no idea where my original copy of it went. Today, you can find long lists of these by googling them. And it is fun to make up new ones … “a beeping of cellphones …” and “a confusion of computers” are my most recent creations. There are unlimited possibilities and I’ll bet that’s how these were all created in the first place. I mean, who originated “a school of fish”? Someone had to be the first, right?

OMG, this post made me think of good times with my best friend as a teenager, when we would break out in the giggles, sometimes for a whole day. I’m smiling just thinking of it.

That’s too funny! It made me think of all the names for different groups of animals, and I am off to search for some sort of fun meme for a murder of crows. 🙂

Funny Murder of crows was the first one that came to my mind.

I think it is one of the best known of these … along with the gaggle and the pod of whales and a trumpet of larks (always liked that one). There are a lot more. Schools of fish. Some of them, we use so often, we don’t stop to think how very odd they are.
