While on the subjects of words.... July 18, 2006 at 01:28 PM UTC #
One interesting and often surprising bit of wordplay is the official name applied to various types of animals who assemble in groups. We often hear of a herd of cows or a school of fish. Then, there are the less familiar references like a raft of ducks, a gaze of racoons or an army of frogs. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what term would be ideal to describe groups of persons like :

A "bummer" of cancer patients.

A "bongload" of investment bankers.

A "series" of girlfriends.

A "wad" of porno stars.

A "whiff" of hippies.

A "bullpen" of lesbians.

A "stench" of Frenchmen.
