DS needs homework help!

DS needs to find a collective noun that begins with the letter "i"

A collective noun is like a "gaggle" of geese, a "pride" of lions. We can't find one that starts with "i". HELP!

Did you look here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collective_nouns_by_subject_A-H

It's alphabetized by the noun but it might be helpful.

excuse my ignorance - what part of this needs to start with "I" the gaggle-part or the geese-part?

Here is a bunch of them

implausibility of gnus

an intrigue of kittens

an imposition of mother-in-laws (or mothers-in-law, if you want to go all English teacher on it)


I can't think of any well-accepted ones... but you can get creative with these. I have seen both of the above examples listed in collections of collectives.
