So, if you 'murder out' your smart, can you have a 'murder of smarts'? Or, how about, a 'conference of smarts'? From M-W.com, " a representative assembly or administrative organization of a religious denomination." Seems like smart owners are a fairly fanatical group...

Ok, don't like those, how about a few of these? Personally, 'army of ants' conjures up a group of smarts, so how about an 'army of smarts'? They'll visit if you have food! Or, maybe, a 'party of smarts', like 'party of jays' at link below? Again, they'll come if you've got food!

Rfernatt: you could have just furnished the link - since they aren't your ideas...

Thanks, Rfernatt, you're a peach, a swell smartie, and a good sport.

Tip o' the hat.

Link was included at end (like m-w.com reference), but must've gotten lopped off in my copy/paste after reformatting. Anyway, you're right, I got a little carried away with not enough sleep. It'll be fixed in just a moment...

We here in Fl had a picnic back in january... this british guy came... he said in britian/england that they are called a tube... a tube of smarties

Up to 10 smarts together = a truckload of smarts
More than 10 = a boatload of smarts
Group of smarts following one that is lost = a sinking shipload of smarts

What do you call a group of any other cars?

Im with you Rigger. People who have cars named after animals don't ask questions like this, and that would make more sense.

oh, gads, I've been there! Nice to know u-turns are so easy!

Although I suggested a smattering of smarts just because I liked the way it sounded, I do believe I now will cast my vote for a swarm of smarts. If and when I finally see one that is what I will call it. For it must be used in order to be adopted! It just sounds so right.

I might be a bit biased on this.
