Jabbering about the Japanese

Today a group of businessmen came in to chat with our CEO. They walked right past the group of desks that I sit in. The following furious jabber chat ensued betwixt me and co-workers:

Me: There is a bevy of Japanese businesspersons in the fish tank with D.

L: That's no bevy. That's a gaggle.
    Perhaps a pod.

Me: A cluster?

L: A cluster... not bad.

Me: A covey

G: A murder.

Me: A coterie

L: I was waiting for "murder."

Me: An outfit of businessmen.

L: Heh. An outfit of suits.

G: Heh, that's good

J: Are they handing him fat stacks of cash?

Me: A horde of mongoloids.
    *titters.*

J: *baps Aya on the head.*

L: Thank you, J.

Me: What?
    It's a perfectly cromulent term.

L: So. Wrong.

I love my job.

On a totally unrelated note, Geoff says that the next time you come over, if you bring a stack of blank cds with you, Aeon will probably burn you a whole bunch of trance off of his computer (assuming Aeon is in at the time-- and if he isn't you can probably leave them for him to do later).
