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 :)

Uni, the way to look at it is this...it could be linked to the idiom: embarrassment of riches...except with pandas, there's so such thing as too much of a good thing...  :thumbup:

Hahaha!An embarrassment of riches is not so much the collective noun, but rather just a saying meaning sorta like being spoiled for choice, as in the distress it must cause the moneyed man choosing which Lamborghini to drive that day...

I particularly like the following (regional) collective noun, describes it so brilliantly:

Politicians have some harsh - okay, not really, considering... - collective nouns already! But that is apt!
