Because a "pantaloon" is one leg of "pantaloons," and "pants" is an abbreviation of "pantaloons." So really, "pants" is plural of "pant," of which pants have two - a left pant and a right pant.

Gray Beard Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Is biweekly twice a week, or every other week? When you dust, are you adding dust or removing dust? Why is the entire bread part of a pizza the crust, but with bread the crust is just the outer part? When you make coffee, you use ground coffee and are left with coffee grounds. In your car, having a lot of gas is good, but in shoutbox conversations, it seems to be bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 “Within the hour” Do you mean you’ll be here by the end of the current hour or within one hours time?

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Recycling. You're not recycling... You're sorting the garbage in hopes that somebody recycles it. Kinda like: 3. "The cigarette does the smoking, you're just the sucker." A quote from anonymous, this saying is used to convince people to stop smoking or to never start in the first place. However, it just doesn't make sense to say this because if you have a lit cigarette in your mouth and you are inhaling the smoke, you are consciously smoking.
