Men in tuxedos look like penguins.
Henceforth they shall be known as MENguins.
The question is, what to call a group of them?
A Murder of Menguins – This sounds like the title of a cosy mystery set at a rural college where the dons are ruthlessly picked off one by one at various formal dinners. The murder would be solved by a young co-ed who has an obsession with grammar and alliteration.
A Munch of Menguins – Menguins on the march are usually on the way to a soiree of one kind or another where they will eat their way through half the world’s caviar supply and put several species of large mammal at risk of extinction. A ‘munch’ seems apt.
A Magnanimity of Menguins – A large number of soirees (see above) tend to be of the charitable kind.
Personally my vote is for a Munch of Menguins. What do you think? Other suggestions welcome!

Apparently the collective nouns for penguins are colony, creche, huddle, parcel and rookery. How about a muddle of menguins for a group of slightly uncomfortable do-I-really-have-to-wear-this? menguins?
