Pom Michael Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 Anyone know of the proper terminology for a group of Mongers? You know - like this:- A wake of buzzards A brood (or clutch) of chicks A sedge of cranes A murder (or horde) of crows A dule of doves A convocation of eagles A stand of flamigos A flock (or gaggle or skein) of geese A pack of grouse So, a xxxx of Mongers? The week of 15-22 May is the time to head to Clark - Cebu Pacific had a super saver sale on fares the last few days - a round trip to either Clark or Manila from BKK was about THB 3,000 only.
MooNoi Posted February 3, 2011 Report Posted February 3, 2011 My personal fave is "a schlong" of mongers. Not to be confused with a "flange" of hookers. :hubba:
Stickman Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 These types of words are called "collective nouns". A search online doesn't seem to come up with the correct collective noun for a bunch of mongers...
LizardKing Posted February 4, 2011 Report Posted February 4, 2011 Actually, not meaning to embarrass the teacher, but wouldn't that kind of word be a classifier versus a collective noun? It is one of the things I struggle with in Thai, as they as just as many silly words for this as we do in English. A good primer is here: http://www.learningthai.com/classroom/classifiers.html
robaus Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 You could edit wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns_by_collective_term_L-Z How about a "molestation of mongers"? Gives us all an update on the bar scene after your visit. I may end up living there if they move the goalposts in Thailand.
Horneytorney Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 May is already typhoon season on the Philippines! so what about a hurricane of mongers a downpour from mongers a drenched horde of mongers a typhoon's eye of the beerholders
Coss Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 I like: "a schlong" of mongers. a "flange" of hookers.
Pom Michael Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Posted May 11, 2011 The gaggle will find out next week - hopefully the PI doesn't flood by then.
