Venery game

New game--first player provides a noun, and the second player provides a word for a group of whatever the first player named, then provides his/her own noun for the next player:

Example:

Lark

An exaltation of larks (You can use the classic groups if you want)

Inquartata

A curmudgeon of Inquartatas
or
An antiquity of Inquartatas
or
A sidestep of inquartatas

Got it? If not, here's further explanation: http://youvebeentold.blogspot.com/20...real-game.html

First word:

Hippopotamus

You make the given word plural, so it should be "a veneer of identities," which is quite clever actually.
