The English Language

I thought you might all appreciate this......
Prof. Kerri James


We are all familiar with a

 
Herd of cows,
 
 
Flock of chickens,
 
 
School of fish
 
 
And a Gaggle of geese, and
 
 
A Pride of lions.

However, less widely known is:
 
 
A Murder of crows
 
 
as well as their cousins the rooks and ravens),
 
 
An Exaltation of doves
 
And, presumably because they look so wise:
 
A Congress of owls.
 
 
Now consider a group of Baboons. 
They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........
 
And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons?

Believe it or not ……. A Parliament
 
 
YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?
 
 
 .........
You just can’t make this stuff up.
