Collective Nouns

Had a sketch idea involving collective nouns (already possibly a bad idea), it kind of hinges on the fact people know what the term is for crows...

Think it might not be common knowledge, and thus the sketch would leave people going eh? (which is a pretty standard reaction anyway).

So do people know it?

A murder of crows. Murder was also a relatively common Victorian christian name. :P

A murder of crows.

Yay thats one person who'd get the sketch and that's good enough for me.

Will post it in a bit.

Just googled collective nouns and found what it is for writers.

a worship of writers.

That just makes sense doesn't it, we all need a little worship

A parliament of owls
An exultation of larks
A wunch of bankers
A fondle of perverts
