The subject of collective nouns reminds me of a game we played in the ICU on the night shift: Medical Collective Nouns: An injection of nurses A cast of orthopedists A rash of dermatologists A shadow of radiologists A slice of surgeons A sphincter of protocologists An arrogance of cardiologists A void of urologists A smear of gynecologists

> inspiration of pulmonologists
better!
(and though having to explain something often spoils it, here's the etymology for enthusiasm: enthusiasm 1603, from M.Fr. enthousiasme, from Gk. enthousiasmos, from enthousiazein "be inspired," from entheos "inspired, possessed by a god," from en- "in" + theos "god" (see Thea).)
