All the words in that list describe groups of animals. When I first saw this list, I knew a couple of them, but into a big group like this, even those definitions dissolved, and I couldn't figure it out until someone else told me. The full list is below.
Also: Today I'm guest posting at my friend Liz's group blog. (I've blogged about the awesome Liz, who I've known for over half my life, HERE.)
Read my guest post over at Hey Nonny HERE.

I have literally never heard of a single one of these. So interesting!
Fun stuff!

Language is so much fun! Here's one my husband and I made up when he taught middle school: a sullen of teenagers.
I always get a kick out of these, and wish I could remember more of them at any given time!
Here's one I just learned at the aquarium the other day: A Smack of Jellyfish.
