#collectivenoun
We have had a discussion recently about which collective noun would apply to #datastewards (you know, like "murder of crows" or "pack of lions"). We decided for "a desperation of data stewards" on bad days and "a flamboyance of data stewards" on good days :-) #collectivenoun #datastewardship

Walking through my local hospital earlier (for non-medical reasons), I happened to find myself walking behind several nurses who all turned out to be phlebotomists.

Any ideas for the collective noun for phlebotomists?

So, how 'bout a #collectivenoun or nickname for all the #techbros, media, and assorted billionaires who have bent the knee and kissed the orange? I submit #TeamBeEvil. #billionaireshouldnotexist

What is your favorite #collectivenoun?

It’s hard for me to choose. I really appreciate that a group of swallows is called a gulp. But I am equally enthusiastic about a group of #pandas being called an embarrassment.

Magpies just can’t make their mind up. A triple whammy today.

A tiding of magpies
A gulp of magpies
My fave is
A conventicle of magpies.

If only they’d stop terrorising the slow worms in the garden. #CollectiveNoun #Birds

The term of venery--the collective noun--for a group of angels is commonly given as a "choir"--or "flights" per Horatio to his "sweet prince" Hamlet. To my mind, the proper term is a shriek of angels.

I have used a couple of different collective nouns (court, mob) in my alt text.

What is your favourite #CollectiveNoun ?

Especially if it isn’t in English, I would love to hear them!
