Anthropomorphic Collective Nouns​

The English language has some wonderfully anthropomorphic collective nouns for the various groups of animals.
We are all familiar with a

Herd of cows,


Flock of chickens,


School of fish


And a Gaggle of geese, and


A Pride of lions.

However, less widely known is:
A Murder of crows



An Exaltation of doves

And, presumably because they look so wise:


A Congress of owls.


Now consider a group of Baboons. They are the loudest, most dangerous, most obnoxious, most viciously aggressive and least intelligent of all primates.........And what is the proper collective noun for a group of baboons? Believe it or not......A Parliament

YEP....A PARLIAMENT OF BABOONS!
Pretty much explains everything doesn't it?

It does explain everything Great joke!
