If the collective noun for goose is gaggle, whale is pod and dove is exaltation (cute, eh?), what is the collective noun for gradfolk?
I suggest:
a procrastination of gradfolk
a laze of gradfolk
an insomnia of gradfolk
a neurosis of gradfolk
How about Professors?
a tenure of professors
an exasperation of professors
Any other suggestions? We could petition the Websters people...
A pessimism of post-docs?
ReplyDeleteA hypertension of junior faculty?
A puffery of full professors?
A scrum of grad students?
neurosis or insomnia of professors works well, too -- particularly of untenured professors.
ReplyDeleteA clutch of chauffeurs?
ReplyDeleteA cluster of astronomers? Or perhaps a constellation?
