Heard a story on the radio this morning. I only caught a little part of it so don't know where it was but it got me thinking... [img]smile.gif[/img] Apparently a lady had called her kids in every time a neighbor hung out her underwear and the dj's were asking people's opinions of them... I figured out from some comments that the offending undies were thongs, apparently. The definitive response for me was "How long does it take to dry a pair of thongs, anyway?!"
FYI, the dj team was of the opinion it was a little much for the mother to drag kids in from seeing underwear on the line, and one asked if the kids had never seen underwear before, which I gotta admit, made me chuckle...kids are going to see ads for this stuff in everyday magazines their parents might have (most womens magazines have ads for all sorts of undergarments).
But what it made me think of is... can you call a thong a 'pair of thongs"? Is it a singular object or plural...and if plural.. umm.. why.. I mean I can see a 'pair of pants/slacks' in that maybe they refer to the two 'legs' of the garment but then it gets dicey for me when we get to underwear as um.. well MOST of my underthings don't have two 'legs' LOL Or is it that pants are made up of a pant and a pant...or a slack and a slack... where the heck does underwear come up being plural then... and back to that thong thing...... *snicker*
