It occured to me that the phrase "tapas bar" should be reworked such that 'tapas' is paired with a different food/entertainment noun. Sorta like animals each have a different grouping, e.g. "pride of lion", "herd of sheep", etc. Maybe "tapas flotilla"?<br /><br />Anyway, that led me to the best reference page ever:<br /><br /> <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/writing/styleguide/animal.html">http://dictionary.reference.com/writing/styleguide/animal.html</a><br /><br />Favorites:<br /><br />* Murder of crows<br />* Bloat of hippopotamuses<br />* Kettle of nighthawk<br />* Richness of marten<br />* Romp of otter
