DR. WIZARD SEZ: KNOW YOUR TERMS OF VENERY!

Hello, my flock of friends. Dr. Wizard here, with a list of educational entertainment! Buckle up, boy (and girl) and take it like a man (or adult girl.) You’re going to learn and learn well. Not good, mind you, well. Take that li’l grammar lesson to the bank, they’ll honor that shit like it’s currency, American currency. Now, onto today’s lesson. Many of you are probably thinking, what is a term of venery? To put it in the vocabulary of a layperson, it is a collective noun for a grouping of animals, such as gaggle of geese or herd of cows. But these are the only two terms of venery that anyone in the entire world knows. This is shameful, and must be corrected immediately. So, provided below, is a comprehensive list of these terms, perfect for laminating, or lamenting.
- A slither of snakes
- A burrow of beavers
- A murder of corpses
- A freebase of cokeheads
- A flock of Flock of Seagulls haircuts
- A buttload of farts
- A smattering of applauses
- A Commissioner of Gordons
- A penny of papes
- A lot of stuff
- An orchard of elderlies
- A Wookiee of wasps
- A horse of horses
- A tableau of tramp stamps
- A face of crowds
- A cackle of Catholics
- A mumble of Methodists
- A hot air balloon of Lutherans
- A pope of Vaticans
- A grocery store of foodstuffs
- An alphabet of letters
