RANDOM THOUGHTS for USMB Patrons.

A $29 dollar pair of underwear?

Why is underwear called "a pair"?

Pantaloon. It is a garment that instead of covering the legs in one piece, individually covers each leg separately.

The short form is pants. That word is what Wiki and the Romans would call "plurale tantum. " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plurale_tantum :D

So, underpants (also known as underwear) is also a plurale tantum.

Like "scissors," "clothes" and "trousers."

(I looked this shit up just now on Wiki, by the way. I studied Latin but never had heard of plurale tantum before this.)

Words are like all cool and shit! :D

I just got off the phone from rescheduling my dentist appointment.
Hell, I'd rather visit my GYN once a month for the rest of my life than go to the dentist.
 
I don't have random thoughts? I never randomly do anything

Oh wait, was that random? I did randomly pick this thread to post in, but was it really random? :eusa_eh:
