Title: The Collective noun for artificial flies?
Post by: Clan Chief on November 02, 2008, 11:41:18 AM
I was thinking about this earlier this morning when I was out for my morning stroll. I suppose a "swarm or hatch" for the real beasties but what about the collective noun for artificial flies? A "box" perhaps, but I prefer a "flock of flees"
