TIL the collective nouns we use for animals (gaggle of geese, herd of deer etc.) mostly come from the Book of St Alban’s published in 1486. It also included terms for professions such as a melody of harpists, a sentence of judges and a superfluity of nuns.

Wait you’re telling me the reason we call it a romp of otters or a murder of crows is just cuz some jackass back in 1486 was just fucking making shit up???

Good news! This means you can make up your own words too! I’m personally fond of “a gambol of goats” and “a corruption of congressmen”
