Thread reminds me of the kids in school...teacher elicits what collective nouns they already know.

"Please, Miss, a flock of sheep!"

"Very good, Wendy!"

"Miss, Miss, a herd of cows!"

"Good, Johnny."

"I know one Miss, I know one...a shoal of fish!"

"That's right, Bob."

"Please Miss - a school of whales!"

"Excellent, Zoe...anyone else know a collective noun for fish?"

"Yes Miss, a dose..."

"I'm sorry Bill, I don't know that one..."

"Oh, Miss, haven't you ever heard of a dose of crabs?"

It's a pod of whales; schools are for fishes.

woof.

Actually, I think you'll find it's a school of Dolphins. Fish, as the previous poster wrote come in shoals.

A "shoal" describes any random group of fish whether the same species or mixed. A "school" generally refers to the same species swimming synchronised. "School" as a verb refers to this synchronised behaviour and depending on the species, as few as three will do it.

woof.

How about a herd of TTers?
