I've heard the term business or busyness applied to a group of ferrets, but has anyone ever heard of the term 'fesnyng'? I found this link on the collective nouns site that someone posted (can't recall who offhand) on yesterday's FML. The author obviously doesn't know much about ferrets, but the article is still amusing. http://www.ojohaven.com/collectives/fesnyng.html Cheri, Poo, Oona, Snoopy, Alex the dog and the seven kitties [Moderator's note: There's an *excellent* post in the FML archives which seems to explain this. It was written by Jeffrey Singman in May of 1994 and can be read at: http://listserv.cuny.edu/Scripts/wa.exe?A2=ind9405&L=ferret-search&P=R7507 That URL is subject to change next month but will work for now.
