What do you call a group of pugs?

This isn't a trick question, it's a 'grumble' of pugs (and we can see why)

A romp of otters

A prickle of porcupines...makes sense

A troubling of goldfish

...eh? They look pretty relaxed to us!

A rhumba of rattlesnakes

A sloth of bears

There's no such thing as a bear of sloths though. That would be silly.

A business of flies

This one suits those hard-working flies perfectly, doesn't it?
