is there a name for a group of poker players,
i was thinking a whinge of poker players sounds ok

Ravens:

An unkindness of Ravens

so odd it must be right?!

correct ;applause;

I like a 'riffle' of poker players.

An "ego" of poker players?

A 'pot' of poker players?   (Weak, I know!)   (http://img57.echo.cx/img57/2500/lame1oz.gif)

How about hedgehogs?     (http://img17.echo.cx/img17/64/headscratch2pl.gif)

I.L.   (http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif)

An array of hedgehogs ?

Correct Taximan.

How about Herring?

Geo

Most fish are usually called a shoal or school. but an "army of herrings" is sometimes used also

Baboons?

A 'table' of herring?  lovely.

a tea party of baboons?  Or is that chimps?

I think that's PG Chimps.

A Troop of Baboons I believe...........

Peacocks.............there's 2 that I know

Geo

poo - I've heard the peacock one before but can't remember it.  It's not a 'pride' is it (or am I just getting confused with lions?)

I want another term for a collection of Baboons - the more recent one.

a blonde bash?

peacock one bugging me now - it's something to do with showing off isn't it?

It originated from a joke on 'Not the 9 o'clock News' but has been used in academic papers since then!

Pride is lions - is it the same for peacocks?

rotflmfao

so funny

Geo

No, a muster is one of them, it's the other I like.

Geo

nah - it's on the tip of my tongue - it's something to do with showing off and extravagance.

A babble of baboons?

It is indeed

Geo

Nope.

An ostentation!  it is, innit?

For peacocks, maybe - but not baboons.

Nice one Claire

Geo

I give up on baboons. 

OK - one of my personal favourites:

polar bears

Flange.

Glacier mint of polar bears?

that's just rude.

The collective noun for baboons is commonly troop or congress, although flange is also becoming common. This unusual term originates from a Not the Nine O'Clock News comedy sketch entitled "Gerald The Intelligent Gorilla" where it was used for comic effect.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baboon

A pack of polar bears ?

nope

Arent polar bears solitary animals ... so they dont have a collective Noun ?

So it's "a" polar bear....

Oh-Oh!  Pick Me!  Pick Me!
Uhhhh, it's a HERD of Polar Bears, if I remember correctly.
And the reason that sticks in my mind is because it made no sense -- to me!
(So many 'useless' things in my lil' brain......so many opportunities to dig em out!)

Cheers!
I.L.

Is a nound a verb? ;)

err, no.

no no no

A group of bears (in general) are often referred to as a sloth or sleuth.

I have only ever heard of polar bears called a pack, i await with interest someone with the correct answer

clue: it is related to where they live

A Guildford of polar bears?

:dontask:

OK - it is related to where they originate from!

A womb of polar bears?

::)  it's related to the Arctic

A circle of polar bears?

Found the answer, all I can say is ....Hmmm!

have to say though, it's a 60/40 split on the one claw is referring to, and 'pack'

I'll leave the rest of you to find the answer...

pack is dull though!

Neither sound right for a solitary animal!

aurora, but should be pack

Next, Goldfinches.

A charm of goldfinches ?

Too easy.

I think we should have a collective noun section in the quiz at BB6 - bagsy taximan on my team ;D

ladybirds

An "All talk at once" Of ladybirds?

A "Nag" Of ladybirds?

Good, but it's not right!

 ;grr; ;grr;



ooops...I think I just proved your point  ;marks;

A "Get their own, value added, private, exclusive poker tournaments" of ladybirds?

Again, close.

A Lovliness of Ladybirds

sometimes i wish i had gone to school and studied proper stuff

Rinoceru... rhinoceri.... rinocerusus... rino's..   <them.

a horniness?

LOOOL No, but it should be.

A horn of rhinos?

Actually, I might know this one.  It's either charge or crash, or something like that.

Yes it's a crash.

Next, Waiters.

a queue?

Nope.

Doh! Just got it.

Still no though.

Derth (never there when you want them)

That's so close, I have to give it to you.

The answer is an absence of waiters.

Back in Ireland my uncle had a collective name for the rare times you saw more than one snipe together -- never beleved him but it might be true.

Collective noun for snipe please (I think the word sniper comes from the fact they were hard to hunt and if you did bag one you were a "sniper" ie good shot)
