Anthropomorphic Nouns You may think this is boring, but stick with it. Youll love the ending. We are all familiar with a Herd of cows, A Flock of chickens, A School of fish, And a Gaggle of geese. However, less widely known is: A Pride of lions, A Murder of crows, As well as their cousins, the rooks and ravens, An Exaltation of doves, And, presumably because they look so wise: A Parliament of owls. Now consider a group of Baboons. Babboons are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates. And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not... A Congress! (Note: I hadnt heard that before, so I looked it up. It is correct). A CONGRESS OF BABOONS! That pretty much explains the things that come out of Washington! You just cant make this up.
