I removed: A lie of Bush's assuming it was meant as a political dig. It wasn't even in plural form!

- You should notice that that line (along with An oligarchy of Republicans on List of collective nouns by subject I-Z came from the same IP address, 24.170.133.133 --Ricky81682 06:27, Nov 9, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cunts
You have a shower of bastards, I was always informed it was a shower of cunts
[edit] Wunch of bankers
Is this actually a pun on "a bunch of wankers"?

[edit] Husbands
"husbands A multiply of husbands"
"Multiply" isn't a noun. Should this be "multiple"?Crunchysaviour 16:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Butterflies
Butterflies are insects... shouldn't that simply be a "swarm" of butterflies? (Didn't make the edit because I'm not sure, but I've never heard of a "rainbow of butterflies." Granted, I've mostly heard, "Oo! Pretty butterflies!", but I'd think that the standard flying insect term would apply.) Miss W 21:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Computers
Many computers do not a network make, nor a cluster. Eight stand-alone computers are just eight computers. A network and a cluster have definitions of their own.
[edit] Gods
How is "Pantheon of Gods" uncertain? I've seen it in print many times. Perhaps the idea is that Pantheon means "the group of Gods belonging to a given religion," and may not apply to just any group of Gods? I'll remove the "uncertain" for now.
[edit] hedgehogs
The article only had prickle for hedgehogs. That is a recent term adopted from "a prickle of porcupines". Before prickle, the term was "an array of hedgehogs". Currently, the term "herd" is being adopted among domesticated hedgehogs. --Kainaw (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
