The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with:
▪a Herd of Cows
▪a Flock of Chickens
▪a School of Fish
▪a Gaggle of Geese
And
▪a Pride of Lions
However, less widely known is:
▪a Murder of Crows
▪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!
Yup... A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!!
(Nigerian National Assembly comes to mind)
Pretty much explains everything, doesn't it?
