Latent_Blue Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 i just looked that up ... no that's just wrong.... so wrong.I demand they change it.So, an aurora of polar bears, an ostentation of peacocks, an embarrassment of pandas walk into a bar... (Was the scientist who first studied pandas just really disappointed in them?)
Uni Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 So, an aurora of polar bears, an ostentation of peacocks, an embarrassment of pandas walk into a bar... And the panda falls over To be fair they are cute and clumsy.Some collective nouns just paint such a cool picture.. A parliament of owls, a crash of rhinos , a murder of crows (very Poe) - but an embarrassment, that's #bearshaming surely Latent_Blue 1
