Why are pants called a pair?
****Why are pants called a pair?*****
Good one:)
But wait for the engineers and critics to weigh in !!!
They jump on my humor threads and turn them into “scientific” discussions. Should post their own articles/threads.....but they don’t.
I post humor to ‘lighten the load’ in these stressful times. but looks like I’m losing the fight;)
Because we have a pair of legs (?)
Maybe the original pants were two individual leg pieces which buttoned up together?
In the old days, they were. They were separate "legs" that you put on one at a time, and they were not joined around the waist. Like an overgrown pair of ladies' nylon stockings.
OOOOPS - didn’t read far enough before I posted the same!!!
Why do women have a PAIR of panties, but just one bra?
