I believe you. I never even played 1e and some of the horrendous names I've heard people mention on these boards have stayed with me.
 

Some animals that can be described as being in a "troop" (but not troupe):

Apes, Baboons, Buffaloes, Doves, Foxes, Giraffes, Kangaroos, Lions & Monkeys

A group of performers is a troupe. Any other group of people, military or otherwise, is a troop. A police officer, member of a mounted military group or similar person is a trooper, but a gung-ho worker is a real trouper.

Troops are always groups, despite the current vogue among journalists of saying things like “two troops were wounded in the battle” when they mean “two soldiers.” “Two troops” would be two groups of soldiers, not two individuals.

...ain't English grand! :p
