Even in their original context of medieval venery, the terms were of the nature of kennings, intended as a mark of erudition of the gentlemen able to use them correctly rather than for practical communication.[8] The popularity of the terms in the modern period has resulted in the addition of numerous lighthearted, humorous or facetious[9] collective nouns.
