From AskMeFi: “You know, like gaggle of geese, murder of crows, school of fish, all that. Does a group of ninjas have some sort of descriptor? We’re talking many people in halloween costumes, how to address them together. The { blank }.”
Aside from the inevitable brush to Ask a Ninja, answers included:
- sir, sir, sir, and sir
- one ninja, many ninjim. And the collective is a flipout of ninjim
- a hedge of ninjas. “We are a hedge. Please move along”
- a stealth of ninja
- a cloudshadow of ninja
- a wraith of ninjas
- a hood of ninjas
- a murder of ninjas
- a diminishing effectuality1 of ninjas
- a silence of ninjas
- an inevitability of ninjas
- a doom of ninjas
- a black of ninjas
- a balaclava of ninjas
- a probability of ninjas
- a whisper of ninja
