Our local Kmart is closing and has storewide discounts.
Wife told me to stop at Kmart & buy a couple of pair of pants.
I listen to her, I went to Kmart. I came home with a robe.

Why do folks call pants, a pair of pants?

Don't think too much of that answer.
Goose, you are confusing.
My shirts have two arms. Nobody calls them a pair of shirts.

 :) What we now call “pants” or “trousers” were originally known as “pantaloons,” after Pantalone, a stock character in 16th century Italian commedia dell’arte (theatrical comedy) usually portrayed as an old man wearing short, baggy pants. The Anglicized form “pantaloon” soon appeared in English meaning “a foolish old man” (as in Shakespeare’s “lean and slippered pantaloon” from As You Like It), but the term was also applied to the Pantalone style of trousers, eventually giving us the shortened form “pants.” But “pants” in the 16th century differed from today’s jeans in that each leg was a separate garment, donned in succession and then belted together at the waist. Thus it made sense to call these “two-piece britches” a “pair” of pants, and the usage stuck long after pants were unified. We speak of “a pair” of shorts or swimming trunks because of the precedent set by “pants.”

Us "Old Coots" were around when it was fashionable to wear these single leg garments...LOL..... 8)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D Hern says: "Goose, you are confusing." (My job here is done)
"My shirts have two arms. Nobody calls them a pair of shirts" Now on this shirt issue.. ??? ??? ??? ??? Larry the Cable Guy doesn't have sleeves on his shirt but it's still called a shirt...so why would you ask about pairs of shirts when not all have sleeves/arms??  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Thanks Jaspr1. That certainly clears things up. And thanks for straightening me out.
Surely didn't get the same 'pair' of answers from you two.
Now if Goose will fly down from the clouds and read your reply, he will know too. ;D

Jaspr considers this thread serious and a learning place. He's setting a standard.
