Anthropomorphic Nouns


I thought this might be boring, but stick with it. You'll 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.
Baboons 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 hadn't 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 can’t make this stuff up.
