OK, I’ll admit it. The latest wave of bombings in Israel has put me in a whimsical mood. Laurence Simon aka “File13 (Amish Tech Support),” over at Charles Johnson’s site, asks what the affinitive term is for Palestinian “militants.”

We have a gaggle of geese, a crash of rhinocerous, so what do we call a group of folks who habitually lie and blow themselves (and others) up?

Mr. Simon suggests a “burst” of Palestinians.

Here are my contest entries:

An explosion of Palestinian “militants”?
A mendacity of Palestinian “militants”?

And for EU bureaucrats, who cheerfully fund this madness, an idiocy of burEaUcrats?

Or, in the spirit of a “pride of lions,” how about a shame of burEaUcrats?
