You mean as in:

An enlistment of soldiers
A neglect of children
A calculus of mathematicians
A path of walkers
A class of students
A cry of hounds
A congestion of cars
A park of lovers
A bare of naturalists
A geek of gurus

Whilst working in the IT department our boss used to refer to us as:
“A gaggle of geeks”

A sprue of modelers

I don't get it. Do you put a thing that the noun uses in fron tof the actual noun? like a Desk of Writers?

A tally of accountants
An addition of accountants
A supplement of reserves
An ailment of hypochondriacs
A dispensary of chemists
A forge of blacksmiths
A bullion of bankers
A detention of jailers
A protectorate of bodyguards
A presentment of lectures
An abyss of miners
A fraud of salesmen

Help me out here:

A lie of politicians?
or
A corruption of politicians?

sorry for the double post, but i like the one about a Wurst of Germans

a bin of loonies (??? haha does that count) :-)

Hi Gunther...
in old English there were many collective nouns...a herd of cattle, a parliament of owls etc.

This is a fun version of collective nouns that might be apt for the subject.
You are spot on with a desk of writers...lol.

Overtime...???
A greed of overtime.
a bonus of overtime.
an excuse of overtime.

There's some nice ones coming here...
a bin of loonies...

Cheers
Peter

in england it should certainly be a dissapearance of plumbers

Nice one...
This could lead to ..
a bodge of Do It Yourselfers.

Cheers
