Whatchamacallit Words

Updated: August 12, 2008

Know what to call a group of cubs, coyotes or crows? See if you can spot the right word for each group.

When a bunch of animals or people get together, the special word you use to describe the group is called a collective noun. Some collective nouns you've heard of-- like school of fish, herd of deer or flock of birds. Some you probably haven't. (Know what animal gathers in a murder?)
