Fionn Posted February 12, 2013 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
Truckstop Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 A waft of bassists I thought was the correct term? Truckstop Quote
