General Collective noun for Pandas?

[gar074]

So, Goudrons' growing family fleet of Pandas got me musing about what the collective noun for pandas is, and to my surprise and delight, a google search turned up that the collective noun for pandas is ...

... An Embarrassment of Pandas.

So, do we meekly accept that as the correct collective noun for the automotive version, or can we come up with a better one?

I rather like the collective noun for peacocks - an Ostentation - but you could hardly describe Pandas as ostentatious.

Those of us with Friday Afternoon Pandas might prefer "a Liability of Pandas", but why repeat outdated 1970s stereotypes? (Fix It Again Tomorrow, etc etc)

Perhaps we should borrow from the king of the jungle, and refer to a Pride of Pandas?

Does anyone have a better suggestion? Definitely no prizes for the winner!

(As you can see, it's a quiet morning in work today )

I like a 'Pounce of Pandas' or perhaps a 'Plump of Pandas'

Hmmmm ... A Plump of Pandas ....

Oi! Who you calling plump? Does my bum look big in this?

(Answer - yes! )

£2.5k of scrap

Would have only made sense if you were at the 2009 Gaydon Panda meet with 23 classic Panda's in front of you

So around £100 each? Sounds about right!

A Sloth of Pandas for the 1.2 2014-present if they are the same as ours was

 

[gar074]

Lol ... or a Tailback of Pandas, perhaps?

Piles of Pandas sounds a bit too much like a veterinary condition.

Paucity of Pandas (in Dorset anyway)

A fornication of Pandas!

A fornication of Pandas!

But they're not that rare!

Unbelievable, I got it right! A collection of Red Pandas is actually called a Sloth and our heap of a 1.2 crap engine was in a red coat.

Excellent - you should be on QI !!

So you guys with red pandas, you collectively have a Sloth of Red Pandas.

Those of us with differently-hued pandas are evidently not as slothful.

A collection of bears in general is a Sleuth.
Which is apt as I need detective skills to track down where they're all parked!
