The Demonym Game: A flock of geese, a school of fish, a ______ of Republicans.

I had a lot of fun playing this game a few years ago elsewhere, so I thought it might be fun here too in light of recent events. What is a properly descriptive term for a group of Republicans? Give as many answers as you want.

Or, a sleaze of republicans, a nut-bag of republicans, an insanity of republicans, and last , but not least, a kkklan of republicans.

I think if there was a synonym for a bad party you don't want to attend or even hear about, that would describe Republicans perfectly.

You're looking for collective nouns.

Demonyms are words that denote where someone is from.

Even though technically this is not the actual term for a group of baboons.

http://www.politifact.com/rhode-island/statements/2012/jan/02/chain-email/chain-e-mail-claims-when-baboons-congregate-its-ca/

Shirley Strum is at the University of California, San Diego, and director of the Uaso Ngiro Baboon Project in Nairobi,Kenya. ... "I would prefer to be governed by baboons than the current Congress, however!!! They are more socially committed, abide by the golden rule and are generally nicer people," said Strum in an e-mail.
