One single garment has a sleeve for each leg and we call it a pair of pants. Another single garment has a sleeve for each arm.... Why don't we call it a pair of shirts?

A flock of geese or ducks flying overhead is fine.... Why is it a murder when crows do it?

Which of course brings us to schooling fish.... Do birds school, or do fish flock?

Now that's interesting. When it comes to mens and womens undergarments, we have a single garment with three holes in it (one for the torso and one for each leg) that we call.... A pair of underwear?
