Fionn Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Collective nouns can be blandly functional, poetically suggestive, or just abstract. Some are really interesting ... a cackle of hyenas, a fluther of jellyfish, a murder of crows, etc. But what would make a good collective noun for bass players? [b]A [i]funk[/i] of bassists[/b] ... I quite like that. Let's have your suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
