What is the collective noun for a group of leprechauns? I'm trying to think of what it is but I don't know if one exists.
If one exists, could someone tell me what it is.
If not, could people make a suggestion for what it should be.

A posse?
It sounds quite nice. No idea what the real one is.

I think most people are thinking along the wrong lines. Collective nouns as in a herd of cows or a murder of crows.

The precise measure being how many leprechauns you can fit on the one donkey without any falling off.

I guess if you absolutely have to find a collective noun, it might be a pub.

After tirelessly going through every hit provided by google for '"collective noun" for +leprechauns' (well, the digests.) the only one I could see suggested was "clove". Ah well, there were only five pages anyway.
Source (http://www.thetales.co.uk/lofiversion/index.php?t676.html). I have a feeling it was made up.

Of all the useless bits of information you seek to find out, that has to be the most useless.
Anyway it's the Irish.
a charm.
I was going to say a 'frolic' of leprecauns, but I like a 'charm' of them better.

Well, it does say that that is the leprechauns prefered collective noun.
Also: Collective Nouns are single-handedly the weirdest thing about the English language.
