A murder of crows.
A peep of chicks.
A cluster of grapes.
A convocation of eagles.
A glorifying of liars.
Have you ever wondered what to call a particular group of animals, people, or things? If so, James Lipton can probably tell you. His book, An Exaltation of Larks, lists over 1,000 terms for groups of things, and also describes the historical references for some of them. If you'd like to read more about this book and learn some more terms, please head over to The Estella Society. I'm pleased to have my guest post, A Browse of Readers, featured there today. Please come visit, and be sure to leave a comment.
Personally, I love that a group of writers is called "a worship." Seems apropos to me!
