I came up with this terrible pun reading the latest Wen Spencer series and reading the history of French post revolutionary measurement.
What do you call a kilogram of crows?
Hint:
The answer is two words with a total of ten characters.

2$\begingroup$ Yeah, but a lot of the puzzles on this site are jokes, aren't they? $\endgroup$– Peregrine RookSep 4, 2016 at 3:05

$\begingroup$ @Deusovi Well, you have to find resources to solve this puzzle, it puzzled me. (If it puzzled you, vote this comment.) $\endgroup$– EKonsSep 7, 2016 at 9:39

The answer is
MASS MURDER
because a kilogram
is a unit of mass,
and, as greenturtle3141 pointed out,
a group of crows is called a "murder" (just as a group of lions is called a "pride", etc.)

$\begingroup$ "Terms of venery" is more specific than "collective noun" in this case. $\endgroup$ Sep 6, 2016 at 18:38
