 From recent adventures:

A shrewdness of baboons, a flange of baboons, a congress of baboons. A unit of ballistieri. A cobble of catipulti. A dopping of ducks, a dabble of ducks, a plump of ducks, a paddling of ducks, a flush of ducks, a raft of ducks. A hobble of duck bandits.

Some of these are real...

John

What are they doing by day on the road?
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Stand and delibbering, covered in woad.
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!
Sneering and whisp'ring and stealing your Wheels
Smoking cigars, waving bronze, cutting deals,
Ducks! Ducks! Qa-qa, qa-qa!...

(March of the Sinister Ducks).
