Hey English speaking people, just a reminder that you should appreciate your collective nouns for animals more. I only learnt about them in more detail quite recently and I absolutely love them! German at least doesn't have a concept as unique on that end. And "a murder of crows", "a crash of rhinoceroses", "a tower of giraffes"? That stuff is brilliant! So please keep at the good word work there and make sure those won't be replaced at some point by something generic for all animals 🙏

The Nineteenth Day of Importance in Unimportance

Exploring Galaxies by Maria L. Berg 2023 Today I worked to capture the importance in unimportance and the unimportance in importance. For my images I revisited one of the filters I made yesterday out of junk I found in the bottom of my fabric closet. Here’s a picture of the filters: The one I focused on today is the one on the top left. I love the effect the light hitting that plastic disc…

Collective Nouns for TMA Avatars

(Note: these are all actual collective nouns for a type of animal, which in each case is indicated in parentheses. Many types of animal have more than one accepted collective noun; I have followed this convention to a point, but limited myself to two collective nouns for a group of avatars of any given Entity.)

Buried: an earth (foxes) or a bury (rabbits)

Corruption: a plague (locusts)

Dark: a shadow (jaguars) or an eclipse (moths)

Desolation: a destruction (wild cats) or a scourge (mosquitoes)

End: a murder (crows)

Eye: a gaze (raccoons) or an intrusion (cockroaches)

Flesh: a mess (iguanas) or a mutation (thrush)

Hunt: an ambush (tigers)

Lonely: a singular (boars), although Lukas family funerals are probably about the only time you’ll need this one

Slaughter: a pandemonium (parrots)

Spiral: a confusion (wildebeest) or an implausibility (gnus)

Stranger: a parade (elephants) or a parcel (penguins)

Vast: a descent (woodpeckers)

Web: a covert (coots) or a skein (geese in flight)

Reading an awesome Endgame fix-it fic where there are multiple versions of Steve gathered in the same place, same 'verse, same time. The author came up with the perfect collective noun: a clusterfuck of Steves. LOL forever.

I wonder what collective noun we would use for a group of Buckys? A sarcasm of Buckys? A bemusement of Buckys? A bravery of Buckys?

A barn of Buckys? (Sorry, sorry.)
