Different groups of animals have different names. So it's a "murder of crows" not a flock or a "congregation of crocodiles" (Brother Fangs would like to testify, let's give Brother Fangs a big Amen) not . . . uh . . . well, whatever else you'd want to call a bunch of hungry crocs.
----------------------------------------Since crunchers are a distinct group, I think we should have our own group designations. Here are a couple of my suggestions. Please add your own. a squeeze of crunchers a trekkie of geeks a sprocket of gearheads a help desk of nerds There is a thorough list of group nouns at Fun with Words   [Edit 1 times, last edit by twilyth at Sep 15, 2007 2:38:46 PM] |
