I did some clothes shopping this weekend when it hit me: why are pants called a “pair of pants?” What makes them a pair? You can’t just wear a pant, it’s gotta be plural. So what gives?
I bought some underwear in a pack. The package said “six pair briefs.” I almost expected 12 garmets in the bag, but noooooo! There were only six. I almost felt like complaining to the FTC that I got ripped off.
English is a funny language.
I kiss you!
