I don’t mean what you use to chop down your feces, but an object that you realized only your family has and people would raise their eyebrows at. Best if said object has a sole purpose.

    This might be a dialect thing, but I’m intrigued at what one tong is? I’m in Australia and we only have pairs of tongs - like we only have pairs of pants - and I’ve never heard them referred to in the singular.

      I don’t like to use ‘pair of’ for things like tongs or spectacles spectacles which are one physical item. I do it for stuff like shoes tho. I think pair of tongs is technically correct tho

        Well you did write tong before and not tongs which is what was being asked. It should still be plural, even without the “pair of” bit.

      The frog tong is one half of a pair of tongs yes. You lure the frog on it and catapult the fucker outside.
