Collective Nouns

I'm a fan.  One of the more charming aspects of the English language - a pod of whales, a pride of lions, a murder of crows.

So let's make some up.  Here's a few I'd like to see:*

A crank of retirees

A gulp of swallows

A mood of teenagers

A judgment of Republicans

A slouch of supermodels

A klieg of actors

A guilt of mothers

A 12(b)(6) of attorneys  

An angst of art directors

A whine of toddlers

A block of writers

A regret of old lovers

An indecision of designers

An ego of directors

A laissez faire of Libertarians


Add your own in the comments.



*I might have read some of these somewhere.  I'm forgetful.
