Among other things, it's apparently a smack of jellyfish and a parliament of owls. But would you seriously use this sort of nomenclature in conversation?
"Where've you been?"
"Went for a dip in the sea? Man, you should have seen the jellyfish. A huge smack of them!"
"A what?"
"A smack."
"A smack of jellyfish?"
"Yes."
Who the hell decided to use the word smack in this context anyway? And why weren't they pulled up for it?
Has anyone here used the word smack to define a group of jellyfish without attracting disparaging comments and yes I am bored.
