Most people probably know that in English, groups of various nouns have various collective nouns. Some people might even know this list of supernatural collective nouns.
Personally, I feel that the wide field of software rightfully deserves some such nouns of its own, and have decided to start compiling (pun intended) a list of what seem like good ideas.
I hope to see some comments with nouns that should be added to the list!
A list of arrays
A thicket of if-statements
A feast of bytes
A dynasty of classes (inherited)
An incest of classes (virtually inherited)
An oblivion of compiler warnings
An Ikea of databases
A stutter of DWORDs
A distraction of humans (fem.)
An array of lists
A murder of macros
A mess of objects
A crash of pointers
An overflow of recursive functions
A trouble of regular expressions
A spool of strings
An arrogance of templates
A knot of threads
A uncertainty of variables (esp. data members)
A landfill of variables (uninitialized)
A babble of words
