Collections, gangs, throngs, crowds, buckets of and the like . . . the correct (or most amusing) terms for specific groups of bods/boddesses/beasts/kitchen implements/cells can be rather entertaining when one looks into it/scans the dark corners of the aether. Can you add anything of interest?  Bring/plonk something impressive to/on the table?

Feel free.

An entrance of actresses – (Esme runs out onto the stage with a ruff round her neck holding a skull out, she trips over her mediaeval shoes, then falls flat on her face)
A flange of baboons – (In the pink no doubt)

A galaxy of beauties –  (“Ah my darling, your eyes are like stars you know; not because they twinkle, but because they’re so far apart”.)
A goring of butchers – (One can only hope)

A mutter of mothers-in-law – (There is evidence that Mother-in-law jokes date back to Roman times: Satire VI by Juvenal says “that one cannot be happy while one’s mother-in-law is still alive.”This is quite true, and I have to say, Juvenal (or rather Juvenile) suited his name well. )
