Phew. I've been copywriting all day. Trying to find flowery adjectives to describe very basic and mundane industrial kitchen products. An intersting challenge indeed.

Anyway - I've been making heavy use of the dictionary/thesauraus, and having finished, scanned through the book.

So - did you know that a collective noun for kittens is 'A Kindle of Kittens' and for cats is 'A Clowder of Cats'?

I didn't. I wonder if there are any other obscure/funny-sounding collectives out there?

Today's lesson over!!!

Christy, I love that one, too. There was a good movie by that title a few years ago. I also like a gaggle of geese. I think that's right.
