ripper

today my australian friend pronounced that she had found the collective noun (means 'more than one') for an armadillo was a 'ripper.'

this is what i imagined:


i got really pumped for a few minutes. i was going to start a team. i was gonna print jerseys and patches and stickers. then she explained that 'ripper,' in australian slang, means 'awesome,' NOT a 'herd of armadillo.'














an 'ark' is the proper collective noun for a herd of armadillo.

texas loves armadillos. here is another armadillo picture i like. a lot.



go texas!
