Man, I need to learn more than just a "gaggle" of geese, which is probably wrong anyways...
A wake of buzzards???
Oh man amazing.
Surely you kid, no?
A gaggle of geese is one that I like. But I think my favorite is "a business of ferrets."
my favorites are a 'lump of toads'. and a 'squirm of worms'.
I have always figured this was just someone with clout in the "information" world, by which I mean the Lord of T-shirt and poster makers, or else possibly Mr. Wikipedia himself, who made this nonsense up. But a lump of toads has got to be actual hard, scientific fact, doesn't it? It just has to be.
