Friday 5: A Friday of questions
Today's odd little query comes from Marvin:
Should it be a "sack of Hobbits" or a "bag of Hobbits" or a "hole of Hobbits?" Name -- or better yet, invent -- five of your favorite collective nouns.
Oh my, this should be fun:
- A “brush” of hobbits: Anything that hairy deserves the name.
- A “colony” of defects: Software bugs are just like the real-world kind. If you see one, you know there are a lot more hiding in the walls.
- A “quiver” of voice mails/emails/instant messages: Ever go out to lunch and come back to find that something happened, thus generating a lot of fast emails, voice mails, and so on? It’s like coming back to see an entire quiver-full of arrows piercing your chair in a nice cluster pattern.
- A “keg” of mistakes: Do I need to spell it out?
- A “Shakespeare” of monkeys: That’s a LOT of monkeys.
The rest of the Friday Fivers can be counted here.
