We have all heard of a ''Pride of Lions'', a ''Herd of Cattle'' and a ''Flock of Birds'', but what about the less common, long forgotten collective nouns, like: a ''Bloat of Hippopotami'', a ''Mutation of Thrushes'', a ''Herd of Harlots'' or a ''Superfluity of Nuns''? If you are interested in the English language and the origin of words, then you will really enjoy browsing this book.
