The wonderful @jaboUK laid down a bit of a challenge for me yesterday to come up with some collective nouns. When the equally wonderful @ElizabethWallace waded in I realised I wasn't going to get out of it. So here goes.
A crisis of middle-aged men.
A flush of menopausal women.
A contemplation of navels.
An embarrassment of socially awkward people.
A narcissism of celebrities.
A moron of Donald Trumps.
A pretension of pseudo-intellectuals.
A nest of lawyers.
A conflagration of arsonists.
A denial of homophobes.
An enlargement of Viagra users.
A perfection of myLotters.
Just thought I'd throw in that last one in a shameless attempt to be liked! I'm so needy it hurts!

I agree most with the irritation of computers, also frustration.

Seriously? You don't get enough likes around here? I'm not sure I'd want to attempt that challenge no matter how many were expecting it. You could about write a book on most of those, in fact I thought, at first that you were talking about books when you mentioned navals. lol.

I enjoyed that very much some more than others, I suppose we all have our favorites. The flush of menopausal women and yes the Viagra one was good.
