    Bring a pair of kitchen scissors, and awe them by separating the halves

      Why is a pair of scissors separated in halves? Shouldn’t a pair of scissors be separated into 2 unit scissor?

      EDIT: so you would have 2 half pair of scissors? A pair of half pair of scissors?

        Apparently this oddity has a term

        pants is an example of a plurale tantum—a word only ever used in its plural form

        But I don’t see anything makings sense of it
