What Do You Call A Group Of Engineers?

There are gaggles of geese.

A group of bears is referred to as a sloth of bears.

There are the well-known teams of oxen, hives of bees, and packs of wolves.

We even collectively group people together.

There are companies of actors. Bands of musicians. Regiments of soldiers.

Yet there are no generally well-known listings for Engineers.

Go ahead, look it up. After spending more than a few minutes of research here there is shockingly little in the way of generally agreed upon group nomenclature for some of the finest groups of humans to ever walk this earth.

The Cringe Is Strong With The Zoom Wave

That strange, awkward feeling that one gets when you do something that everyone else is doing, but it feels really weird when actually performing the action.

Now, we all awkwardly stare at each other while surreptitiously trying to blindly click the ‘Leave’ button without breaking eye contact. That or we all end up committing the most cringy action of all to end a pandemic video conference.

I am talking about waving.
