One of the things that is awesome about language is the many creative ways we have found to refer to collections of things. For example:
- A stare of owls
- A blessing of unicorns
- A tower of giraffes
- A shuffle of bureaucrats
There are many more such examples, here: http://users.tinyonline.co.uk/gswithenbank/collnoun.htm
I believe there are many more collectives waiting to be minted! Hence, this repository.
I've seeded collective-nouns.md with a few that occur to me. By all means, please fork and contribute more.
