01 Sep 06 - 11:30 AM (#1824637) Subject: RE: A plunk of banjos, flutter of flutes ... From: Geoff the Duck Oh - are we talking about a bunch of made up "Collective Nouns". I am firmly of the opinion that 99% of collective nouns for animals or birds ae purely invented as Quiz Answers. They even come up with names for groups of fiercely territorial solitary animals - the ones where they will attack any intruder unless it is for the purpose of mating. You may infer that I am not a fan of such "collectives" but I will do my best to help out. How about :- An absence of bodhran players. A disappearance of melodeons. A silence of whistles. An unbowing of fiddles. A peacefulness of nights out... Quack! GtD. |
