Collective Noun
 

Gentlemen...and Ladies here present

Your suggestions please for the correct collective noun for a group of helicopters?

Gaggle?...Swarm?...Whoop?

I'll give you mine later. For now, your best, por favor.

A Throb of Helicopters

A "fatigue" of helicopters??

A Vortex

a Collective

A clatter.

A Worry of whirlythings

A sucking financial vortex.

A thrum, perhaps.

A mash of choppers.

Very good so far, very good.

Forgot to say there's a bottle of cheap Rioja in it for the best suggestion (just for fun, Mr Mod).

Hope that'll fire up the Antipodean mob in a few hours, in any case. They can't get good wine down there, I hear :E

A hover of helicopters. Don't repeat it too quickly!

Judging by the rivalry of the differing factions on here I think it should be...

A Clique of Helicopters

:p

a small gathering would be - 'a mob',

a large gathering would be - 'a big mob'

a medium gathering would be - 'might be a fair size mob?'

anyone that has worked with aboriginals in stock camps will recognise that. note the question mark.

as far as wine down under, - 'there's a proper big mob of that, good stuff too!'

and we're always willing to experiment.

tet

a rapidly increasing overdraft facility?
bit of a mouthfull granted:rolleyes:

For the noise abatement crow....

A flock of helicopters....


As in, there goes another flocking helicopter!

Down here in Texas, I guess we could just call them a s$itload of helicopters. (since that is a standard form of measurement in the Lone Star state!!):ok:

A " bunch of knobs" comes to mind ... :E

More than one is normally a "Headache", especially when the blasted things won't work properly.

Si

A 'Scrotum' obviously.

Assuming the helicopters include helicopter pilots, an argument of helicopters seems appropriate...
