A "congress" is what one calls a group of politicians in the USA. Elsewhere in the world it is naturally a parliament of politicians.
As for zombies, if you follow Tam's link you'll note that someone mentioned the term "an infestation of zombies". Very hard to argue against that. An infestation it is then.
As in " Gentlemen and ladies, Targets at 3 o'clock. Aimed fire only. First rank. Fire!. Second Rank. Fire! Third Rank. Fire! First Rank. Fire! ... Reserve ranks, Right face! Aim. Fire!"
I like a ‘Congress of Zombies’ it fits right in with my first thought on the subject which was ‘the Incoming Administration’? Constituency and Electorate are also great!
WV: “herses” which I find somehow apropos, in a phonetic sort of way, given the subject matter…

ReplyDeleteI like "confusion of blondes", that's just funny.
