Who came up with the terms for groups of animals? Who decided that geese came in flocks, lions come in prides, and so on? The folks at pleated-jeans.com decided to come up with “Better Names for Groups of Animals” for this video (Warning: a couple of expletives are shown on screen, in case you’re at work or around mom), and their ideas include a platoon of baboons, a pack of yaks, a Ryan of goslings… okay, you get the idea. And that, of course, leads to a game in which you come up with your own terms. Sorry, a “murder of crows” is taken and is real, so you’ll have to do better. Suggest your own below. Remember, rhyming is good.
