Subject: Re: [HG] Collective Nouns

Ooh, great thread!

Collective nouns for multiple hurdy-gurdies I have considered over the past
21 years:

The aforementioned "hurd"
The aforementioned "crank"
A brace of hurdy-gurdies--makes sense if you're a builder, and I like the
sound of it A blast of hurdy-gurdies--makes sense if you've ever heard MY
gurdy A spin of hurdy-gurdies (& would a group of players be spinsters?) A
gaggle of hurdy-gurdies (well, sometimes they squawk) A pack of
hurdy-gurdies (dog reference) A howl of hurdy-gurdies
