Language Inquiry
According to this story, a young man at Michigan State University has been arrested for pilfering some 79 "pairs" of women's "thong" underwear. That's right--the story certifies that all 79 articles were of the "thong" variety.
My question to those of you familiar with the "thong" variety of women's underthings is, exactly what is it a "pair" of? Seems to me that a thong is more like the "anti-pair".
I'm just sayin'.

I don't like the way they feel when they ride up...
What exactly is a pair of pants?
Sally--excellent point--but at least with pants, there are two obvious appendages, two conglomerations of fabric, two extensions--that make one think of pair.
Each pant leg was a separate item and belted in the middle, back in the yesteryear.
Seriously thought this was a GG post!

My Goodness, you people can be very immature.
