Superfluity

Let us never speak of this, or collective nouns in general, ever again.

I'm sorry, I'm just ANGRY that A MEMORY OF ELEPHANTS is our winner for collective noun.

Remember when this topic was first given, and I was like "noo, we're going to get a cliche winner like Murder, Flamboyance". Everyone was like "no this contest will be awesome lol. just you wait." and I waited. and I thought I was wrong for a bit, because there were a ton of cool collective nouns (Superfluity, Escargatoire, Array, Commune, etc.) but one by one they all were slain until we were left with...a memory of elephants? lol.

It's just so bland; murder or flamboyance or clowder winning would've been way better.

Now we have to deal with "2014 - Favorite Collective Noun: Memory" in the first post every year mith hosts these tournaments. Ugh.

Man, memory of elephants is pretty much the best, IMO.

Also ^5 to the other two people who nominated it
