When Connor called a group of cyclists a 'gaggle,' the jab landed because the metaphor maps cleanly: honking noise, waddling side-by-side blocking traffic, plump self-satisfied bird energy, and herd-behavior group-think. Whether he knew 'gaggle' is strictly the collective noun for geese or just felt the right word, the behavioral parallels do all the heavy lifting. The insult is legible without the etymology.
