Collective Nouns

We love these words that describe a group of things, almost always animals and birds.
Not content with "herd" or "flock" we have
a charm of goldfinches
a cackle of hyenas
a gaze of raccoons
a murmuration of starlings
a parliament of owls

also

a superfluity of nuns
a bench of bishops
a pomposity of professors

Wikipedia has a terrific list
but
Patrick McManus in "The Grasshopper Trap" also suggests
a chatter or chill of ice-fishermen
an exuberance of fishermen
but a sulk of unsuccessful fishermen
a boast of hunters
a berserk of kid campers
a cramp of camp cooks
a panic of anglers

from "Island of the Sequined Love Nun" by Christopher Moore
we find
a maggotry of reporters

and "The Gun Seller" by Hugh Laurie calls it
a neck of body guards

(those are Amy Winehouse's bodyguards)
