What Do You Think?

I need your opinion.


If a group of otters is called a romp.


A group of frogs is called an army.


A group of meadowlarks is an exaltation.


A group of blue jays is a scold.


A group of baboons is a congress. (Think about that one.)


A group of giraffes is a tower.


A group of leopards is a leap.


A group of magpies is a tiding.


A group of squirrels is a scurry.


A group of butterflies is a rabble.


A group of hippos is a crash.


A group of weasels is a sneak.


A group of hedgehogs is a prickle.


A group of hummingbirds is a charm.


A group of peacocks is an ostentation.


A group of lizards is a lounge.


A group of possum is a passel.


A group of bees is a flight.


A group of woodpeckers is a descent.


A group of crows is a murder.


A group of jellyfish is a smack.


A group of kangaroos is a mob.


A group of ducks is a paddle.

Then what is a group of Portuguese Water Dogs?


I vote for a splash.
Do you have any other ideas?

See a long list of these collective nouns here.

  10. That was so interesting. There were a few in there we didn't know. Like lizards and lounge. Now "lounge lizard" makes more sense but we had no idea. There are so many good ideas here. I like all of them - splash, curl, puddle wave, waggle, et al - all would work.

    wags, Lola

    I think I have to agree with the OP Pack on this one - Wave.

  12. Why, it's a Puddle of Porties, of course.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Why a posse of Porties, of course!
    Actually my first thought was a group of PWDs would be called a challenge.

  14. I likes Curl or Wave!

    Woofs and Licks,

  15. I like Puddle - just because most of the others start with the same letter - there's a word for that, but it escapes my tired brain.

    I have a cry of hounds - exception to the rule! g
