I’m trying to rationlize a false memory(?) Apparently a group of cats is actually a Clowder. Nowhere else on the internet calls it a Whisper?
I swear I was taught this the same day I learned ‘a school of fish’ and ‘a murder of crows.’ I remembered it all these years because I’d always think ‘whispuuurrrr’ in my head.
Help me out of my denial. 😭
Is there even a reason they exist? Like, is it actually important to a biologist or something to say “herd of cows” instead of “group of cows”?
the explanation i heard once is that they were made by rich hunter fellas so they could determine who else was a rich hunter fella
