Collective nouns, you know the kind of thing - a gaggle of geese, a murder of crows, a throwaway of tulwars.

I've got a 100k pot to give away to the best collective noun connected with Carnage Blender.

The usual rules apply:

1. Multiple entries allowed.
2. Keep it PG.
3. Closing date will be a week from now: April the Twelfth. Or sooner if I get no entries!


Oh and any donations to the pot will be gratefully received. I will be adding to it myself as I earn more!

:)
