its a bunch of cunts or a shower of cunts
Is this actually a pun on "a bunch of wankers"?

Butterflies are insects... shouldn't that simply be a "swarm" of butterflies? (Didn't make the edit because I'm not sure, but I've never heard of a "rainbow of butterflies." Granted, I've mostly heard, "Oo! Pretty butterflies!", but I'd think that the standard flying insect term would apply.)

How is "Pantheon of Gods" uncertain? I've seen it in print many times. Perhaps the idea is that Pantheon means "the group of Gods belonging to a given religion," and may not apply to just any group of Gods? I'll remove the "uncertain" for now.
The article only had prickle for hedgehogs. That is a recent term adopted from "a prickle of porcupines". Before prickle, the term was "an array of hedgehogs".

A quiver is what you use to hold arrows. It is a noun but not a collective known in this instance. Not unless a cup of water counts. Or a jug of beer.
A moderate skinful of beer is a collective adjective/noun combo though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.127.33.192 (talk) 11:57, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-08-24T11:57:00.000Z","author":"87.127.33.192","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-87.127.33.192-2008-08-24T11:57:00.000Z-Quiver_of_arrows","replies":[]}}-->
Well, there were/are clearly a bunch of fake entries in this list. Here's the simple solution: 1) I am asking for cites for all of the ones I am unfamiliar with. 2) The ones I have heard of, I am not asking for cites for. 3) If you haven't heard of one that I'm not asking for a cite for, ask for it yourself. 4) Any that are uncited and I haven't heard of, I'll remove at some point. As of today, I'm through the Cs asking for cites. ANY uncited additions after today will be removed.
So what belongs here? Clearly, I'm not leaving obvious jokes up: wunch of bankers was clearly added by a wanker and whoever added foo of bars was clearly fubar. I've also removed some that are not simply collective. Take one athelete from each of eight different sports and put them together: they are not a "team" of atheletes". A group of crows, though, is a "murder of crows" in any case. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 16:22, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-08-26T16:22:00.000Z","author":"Mdsummermsw","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Mdsummermsw-2008-08-26T16:22:00.000Z-Cite_'em_or_lose_'em","replies":["c-Mdsummermsw-2008-08-26T16:30:00.000Z-Mdsummermsw-2008-08-26T16:22:00.000Z"]}}-->
A group of actors is not always a troupe or a company. A group of aircraft is not always a fleet. A non-singing group of angels is not a choir. Etc. Why does this matter?

According to an episode of QI, a group of baboons is not called a "flange". It was made up as a joke in an episode of Not the Nine O'Clock News in which Rowan Atkinson was dressed as a gorilla. The correct word is "congress". "Flange" is a fairly widespread urban legend, which has even appeared in an academic paper.
However, sources on the Web give other alternatives. Probert Encyclopaedia says it should be "troop"; and Collective-Noun.com lists "troop", "congress" and "rumpus".
There are online sources claiming that "flange" is a correct word - for example, Rinkworks.com includes it in what they claim is "a list of the correct terms to describe groups of various types of animals", but the site calls itself "online entertainment", and the homepage wished me a happy Stupid Day. A more reliable source might be AskOxford.com, which lists "flange" and "troop".
So should "flange" stay? leevclarke (talk) 18:26, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-01-22T18:26:00.000Z","author":"Leevclarke","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Leevclarke-2009-01-22T18:26:00.000Z-Baboons","replies":["c-SummerPhD-2009-01-22T19:58:00.000Z-Leevclarke-2009-01-22T18:26:00.000Z"]}}-->
A lot of supposed collectives here are really only the name for a place for housing such and such. For example, a kennel of dogs. It's a pack of dogs, and dogs live in kennels. Similarly, a stable of horses, and a set of badgers. (A badger's burrow is called a set). This is a bit like saying an "office of bankers/lawyers" etc. You can indeed talk about a group by referring to their container (eg. a bowl of peas), but it's not a collective. 211.31.37.40 (talk) 01:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Ben[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-02-07T01:59:00.000Z","author":"211.31.37.40","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-211.31.37.40-2009-02-07T01:59:00.000Z-Collective_or_place?","replies":["c-Tivedshambo-2009-02-07T09:12:00.000Z-211.31.37.40-2009-02-07T01:59:00.000Z"]}}-->

If the comment existed only in the speech (not in an available transcript, recording or article reporting on the speech), it is unlikely to be verifiable under our guidelines. Please review WP:VERIFIABILITY for details.
If it is verifiable, it still might not be a from a reliable source under our guidelines.
