I had an entertaining time last night at one of my favourite pubs, the Eagle in Farringdon, with a gaggle of assembled copywriters. There were about 10 of us at one point and, as usual, there was wordplay and cynicism a-plenty.
I did wonder what the collective noun for a group of copywriters would be (you know, as in a murder of crows, a pod of dolphins, an arsehole of account directors). I think a ‘grumble’ of copywriters seems appropriate as we’re a jaded bunch of moaning motherfuckers.

A drivel of copywriters? A curmudgeon of copywriters? A dross of copywriters?
By the time the client has finished mangling the copy you'd could be talking about a waste of copywriters.
'A waste of copywriters' - that's it I reckon! Or in industry parlance, 'a churn of copywriters'...
Maybe similar to a pod of dolphins, you'd have a 'doc' of copywriters (after all, Word dominates our blighted lives)?
Actually, you could have an 'iPod' of new media creatives?
A lie of copywriters?
;-)
How about a 'synergy'?
