I have just heard the best collective noun an ostentation of peacocks. Is that the most descriptive one ever?

A gaggle of women :rolleyes:

(I think it actually refers to a flock of more than 5 geese)

I still like Lozzo's, "Are all women as mad as a box of frogs?"

What about an Obliviation of Orgers? That about sums up last Saturday night for a group staggering about a field after too many cans of fizzy pop.

an intrusion of cockroaches always seems apt.

Must admit I hadn't spotted and didn't know the Peacock one though, that is quite possibly the best :)

I learned a few today too, this was on reddit this morning:

There are some corkers on there. I particularly liked a bloat of hippotamuses and a smack of jellyfish

Have you ever tried to smack a jellyfish, I have, it is really difficult.
