There isn't a word for it

[摘要] What was so important about collective nouns? I dug out an old exam paper from around my 11+ time (1959, since you ask) and there it was. What is the collective noun for — and the list included starlings. It's a murmuration: which I did actually take the trouble to learn, and have never used since. Murmuration isn't even in my Concise Oxford. Collective nouns give doctors great fun. Periodically, the informal medical press or medical internet groups devise them for the specialties: a gasbag of anaesthetists, a stitch of surgeons, a fulfilment of GPs — that sort of thing.
