I've been a huge fan of terms of venery. (Sometimes referred to tongue-in-cheek as "venereal terms.") Being s former juggling street performer my favorite was always "A neverthriving of jugglers." I'm not going to try to coin a new one here â€” although admittedly a fun parlor game that I have played upon many an occasion â€” but instead suggest a traditional one that I think works elegantly. "A stand of tikis." It conveys what tikis do and harkens back to the fact that they are (traditionally) made of wood which links back to "a stand of trees" which has long been in usage. Also, Stand of Tikis would make a cool name for a band. SV
