Rhinos and lions and left-handers, oh my!

Two years ago I wrote a post about group descriptors.

Phrases like a pride of lions and a murder of crows, as well as three that I invented myself.

Based on what I wrote in that post, I didn’t like any of the descriptors that I had invented at the time. But two years later, I find myself liking them a lot.

Perhaps I am an acquired taste, even to myself.

My three descriptors were:

  • A gamble of poker players
  • A concern of mothers
  • A fumble of left-handers

I mention this today because I just learned about one of the greatest group descriptors of all:

A crash of rhinoceroses

Pretty fabulous. Huh?
