The Most Interesting Site Ever

I have to say right off the bat that this posting has a pretty tenuous link to wine and wine making, but bear with me.

I have spent most of today writing up a trip to the Mountain Gorillas of Uganda, and needed to find the collective noun. I came across the most brilliant site, that gave me all collective nouns for pretty much any animal you can imagine.

So, if you are in wine country (here it comes), and wondering about crop damage, it could be due to a trace of rabbits, an array of hedgehogs, a parliament of owls, or a murmuration of starlings.

It's pretty unlikely to be a hover of trout.

I told you the link was tenuous. But at least we improved your vocabulary, or at the very least earned an extra point at your local pub's trivia night.

And by the way, it's a band of gorilla.
