I learned that the collective noun for marmots is a madness and I can neither use it for my writing nor forget it

Watch officer: "I didn't know there were that many marmots left on the planet."

Science officer peering over his shoulder at the screen: "That's a s@@tload of marmots."

WO. "Watch your language, officer. That's not the right word, either, I'm sure."

SO turns to his console, does a search, and says, "It's madness."

WO: "It certainly is!"

SO: "A madness."

WO: "That someone left them swarm through the hydroponics—"

SO: "A madness of marmots—!"

WO: "Yeah, might apply to whomever let them out of the zoo."

SO sighs. "Yes, sir."
