Team Pant

Colleen brought up an interesting question.

Why are they called 'a pair of pants'?

There is only one.

I can understand a 'pair of shoes', because there's two.

But 'pants' plural?

I think she may have just converted me to use 'pant' instead of pants.

For an examination of pants vs. trousers and a probably way too over analyzation of the issue, go here.
