Ornithological specimens of identical plumage habitually congregate in close proximity, or are given to gregarious conflagrations.

You probably already know the famous old phrase.
Dis jus sez da same ting uppity, in high fallutin woids.
(This just says the same thing with your nose in the air, with fancy words.)

Most know it as “Birds of a feather flock together.”

'Alternative Facts'

'Alternative Facts' Is 2017's Non-Word of the Year, German Linguists Declare
http://time.com/5104018/alternative-facts-non-word-of-the-year/

There's a Non-Word??!! Sorry. Had to share this. I'm not sure what to say to this. I'm sort of embarrassed that when people hear this phrase FROM NOW ON and someone asks "Where did you hear that?", everybody will point at US. "Over there. Someone amongst them made that up!" :crazy:
