UsernameTaken123: Once again a pair but in fact a single item




Lots of people just call them pants.

There's no law that says you can't just call em britches.

You can ask for pants in any store; and the sales person will show you pants.

I can find pants all day long, without ever searching for a pair of pants.




The only riddle I see is...

If it bothers you so much, why do you insist on calling them a pair of pants?

It is of no great concern, I just wondering as to the terminology. I have and usually do just refer to them as pants or shorts.
BUT is there such a thing as a pant? Can I buy just one? Of course not it's a pair although in fact just one item.

Just a little while ago somebody got confused by a stoplight, and crashed into a robotic car...
