Lists lots of animals. Clearly people made up some of these things when it was clear nobody really knew if it was correct or not.
Heck, we can do that!

So let's see what we can come of with:

How about a slime of slugs? - slugs look like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug if this term is new to you.

I always thought that a gaggle of geese was appropriate, but it seems that gaggle is only when they are on land. Who knew? Who cared?

A flock of geese is a generic term that describes a group of geese that is in any physical location. A gaggle of geese describes a flock of geese that is located on the ground or in anybody of water. A skein of geese describes a flock of geese as they fly through the air.

A Victorian writer with an overabundance propriety cared. He's dead now. So, how about a honkfest of geese? Now that nobody cares anymore.

I've always referred to a group of sea cucumbers as a "salad" (especially when there are some snails hanging around)...stupid, sure, but small kids like it and parents tend to roll their eyes. For me, that's a win.
