reesetee Never heard that one before--but duly added. Thanks. Jun 18, 2011
bilby smallgoods Jun 18, 2011
reesetee Good ones. :-) Apr 27, 2011
bilby withers Apr 26, 2011
mollusque monkeyshines . . . Apr 26, 2011
reesetee No thanks, mollusque. I've had dessert.
Oh, wait.... Apr 26, 2011
mollusque Butterfingers! Apr 26, 2011
reesetee Thanks, bilby! Apr 9, 2011

reesetee Sorry, sionnach. I've been waiting and waiting for the old settings to be restored....
But just for you, I'll add the hideous jeggings. Jan 30, 2011
reesetee :-) Jan 30, 2011
Dan337 (reesetee: Thanks. It was setting off my irony detector.) Jan 30, 2011
PossibleUnderscore Those things should be made illegal.
Jan 30, 2011
sionnach Fortunately I still have visitation rights, even if custody has been grabbed by this Reese Tee entity.
Sniff! What about the hideous jeggings? Jan 29, 2011
reesetee Glad you're enjoying it. I suppose you're right--the name should be changed. Thanks for pointing that out. :-) Jan 29, 2011
Dan337 This is lovely. I know it’s a mere trivium sic, but shouldn’t the list be called “pluralia tantum”? Jan 29, 2011
reesetee Apologies--I'd add you back in, but then I'd have to let anyone, anyone at all back in too. ;-)
Do you believe it? This Reese Tee...creature took over when I couldn't manage to get my *real* name set up. Hmph.
*takes fake umbrage, throws it cupcake-like at own profile* Feb 26, 2010
sionnach To think that once I could take pride in sharing the stewardship of this list with reesetee. But now, there's new management, and my status has apparently reverted to that of chopped liver.
Not that I blame reesetee, who has apparently succumbed to a more sinister fate, to be replaced by some kind of bot-creature known as Reese Tee.
This is the brave new world that technological advancement brings. Feb 26, 2010
plethora Nachos? Apr 28, 2009
reesetee Plus I'm entirely unsure of how I could add that to this list. ;-) Apr 5, 2009
bilby In the movie 'Malcolm', the protagonist's getaway car splits in two so the police don't know which half to follow. I presume that if the either of the two bits stalled it would only take a jumper cable to get it going. But that's a special case :-) Apr 4, 2009
reesetee Thanks! Dec 12, 2008
bilby coffers. Dec 12, 2008
qroqqa athletics, chambers (legal), corduroys, doings, hives, insignia, ironworks, mews, secateurs, shingles, statistics
I'd suggest excluding sneakers, since it's not a plurale tantum: you can throw or lose one shoe, boot, sneaker, pump, plimsoll, glove etc., where the pairs are physically separable. Aug 21, 2008
chained_bear Oh. Well, okay. :) Aug 20, 2008
reesetee But see, that's my point. I'm not going to perpetuate the nonsense. Hmph. Aug 20, 2008
chained_bear *wags battlebutt at bilby*
Reesetee, unfortunately, I hear all too often people using alumni to mean anything from alumnus, alumna, alumnae, and of course alumni. The usage isn't correct, but it's very common. I don't often hear/see alumnus or alumna even when that's what's meant. And it seems like nobody even knows what alumnae means. Aug 20, 2008
reesetee Well, that's not a plural. . . . Aug 20, 2008
bilby Shurrup, battlebutt! Aug 20, 2008
reesetee Pants! and trousers are already hanging in the closet. :-) I don't know about alumni, though. Aren't alumna and alumnus used fairly frequently too?
Arrears--of course! Thanks, bilby. Aug 20, 2008
chained_bear Pants!
Oh, and trousers.
Edit: also alumni? Aug 20, 2008
chained_bear There you go again.
;)
(BIG WINK, JUST KIDDING, PLEASE LAUGH, LOVE YOU BILBY.) Aug 20, 2008
bilby arrears? Aug 20, 2008
bilby Airs and graces. Apr 11, 2008
Prolagus Yes, se famo du' spaghi*...
(* "Let's have two spaghetti" in Roman dialect) Apr 11, 2008
reesetee Yes, but a spaghetto always leaves me hungry for more. ;-> Apr 11, 2008
bilby You don't necessarily have to have lots of spaghetti. Italians will often invite you to have just two ... wouldn't that be one each? Apr 11, 2008
reesetee Let's just let spaghetti stand for all the other pastas, then. (Al dente, of course.) Apr 11, 2008
Prolagus Of (first) course. I typed spaghetti because we discussed about that in the spaghetti alla bolognese page. Apr 11, 2008
bilby I suppose you could put almost all the pasta types. Unless reesetee massacres one macarone at a time. Apr 11, 2008
Prolagus Spaghetti. Apr 11, 2008
reesetee I'd say they're both worthy additions, sionnach. :-) Jan 7, 2008
sionnach reesetee: What are your thoughts about battlements? And I have an idea that emoluments are generally plural, but nothing to back this up. Jan 7, 2008
reesetee How could I have missed that one? Thanks, bilby. Jan 7, 2008
bilby Kudos for this list. Jan 5, 2008
reesetee Exercise? Who said anything about exercise? I don't believe in that nonsense. ;-) Dec 20, 2007
sionnach Now r_t, no need to get exercised. One set of cojones does not a festival make.
Besides, you were the one who listed bollocks.
Knee-slapping guffaw! Dec 20, 2007
reesetee Hey there! This list will not devolve into a cojones-fest, I tell you. We already have one of those. ;-) Dec 20, 2007
bilby I'm wondering if eunuchs can forget genitals. Or whether ... Dec 19, 2007
rolig Oops, I didn't notice page 2. Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Odd, rolig. I was sure I'd added scissors....Yes, it's the first word on the list. They're not all showing on the first page now that sionnach has gone bonkers. ;-) Dec 19, 2007
rolig And then who can forget genitals and genitalia? Dec 19, 2007
rolig An obvious one: scissors. Doesn't that fit the specs for this list? Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Oh, by the way--more on tommyknockers. Scary little buggers, especially if you're a miner. Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Well, it's not going anywhere so you can always return later.
Cooties?? Haha! Dec 19, 2007
sionnach Cool! Thanks r_t. My first shared list. I'm psyched. Which probably means that my ideas will immediately dry up. Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Oh, all right, sionnach--go on, share the list! You're coming up with more than I have, anyway! :-D
Bilby, condolences is a great one. Thanks! I've heard "conniption" used mostly in the phrase "conniption fits," which seems redundant to me. Dec 19, 2007
sionnach oodles? fries? bean- or brussels sprouts? baked beans? sneakers? fatigues? dogtags? skittles? cremains? knickerbockers, knickers
other possibilities, though less compelling: onlookers, tommyknockers (I don't really know what these are), plus-fours, bloomers Dec 19, 2007
bilby Now that I think about it I've never heard conniption in the plural form. In Australia the typical use would be something like "John Player had a conniption after he three-putted the last hole." Dec 19, 2007
bilby If a person dies but you didn't really like them, can you extend just a condolence? Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Wow! Thanks, sionnach! Think I'll leave out the brand name, though. And I hear "conniption" relatively often, but I think it's far less common than the plural, so it's added. :-) Dec 19, 2007
sionnach marginalia? doldrums? braces (in the sense of suspenders)? banns? abs? pecs? hustings? chitterlings? cornflakes? rice crispies? hominy grits? conniptions? heebie-jeebies? bollocks? vicissitudes? Dec 19, 2007
reesetee Thanks! I can't find anything up there either. It's huge! Jul 25, 2007
jennarenn Good collection. I almost couldn't find it in the cloud of hyperlinks that your lists comprise. Jul 25, 2007
reesetee Oooh, great ones! Thanks, you guys! Jun 7, 2007
uselessness Don't forget about scruples! Jun 7, 2007
trivet and bygones! Jun 7, 2007
trivet Fun! Must be cause we've got all those arms and legs...
Guts, covers, groceries, outskirts, cahoots? Jun 7, 2007
reesetee Thanks, palooka. Glad to hear it looks that impressive. ;-) Actually, most of these popped into my head in one big . . . pop. Mostly the clothing-related ones. Have you noticed how many of them there are? Jun 6, 2007
palooka Cool list. Must have taken time to research. Jun 6, 2007
