To wonder why people refer to a GHD as GHDs?

Just wondering why people refer to a GHD hair straightener as "GHDs" rather than "GHD". Or "hair straighteners" rather than the singular form.

Isn't it just one appliance?

Yes it's been a boring day..

[SaucyJack]

There's two bits tho. You don't say a scissor or a plier.

I guess it is like some people visiting the " Doctor s
have you been looking at a selling page recently?

I had a friend years ago who would talk about a 'pair of bras' meaning one bra.

She insisted she was right because it has two cups.

[verystressedmum]

Or a pair of trousers. Yes there's two legs but it's one garment...

[goldierocks]

I thought it was because it stood for Good Hair Days (plural)......for the price, I'd want more than a single day of good hair

[bumbleymummy]

Slightly off topic but I have been meaning to ask on MN - does anyone know if their curling tongs/wand (whatever it's called!) are any good?

[Babytookacupwoo]

GHDs is correct isn't it? It stands for good hair day.

[Run247]

Ha, all of your responses make sense...

But pair of bras, haha, that's how I feel when people say " straighteners"!

[bumbleymummy]

tongs.... ?

[bumbleymummy]

you wouldn't say hair 'tong' would you?

[AliciaMayEmory]

My DF says pair of bras!!

[HippyDippyRidingPretty]

While you're all here...what's the plural of Prius?

[WhoTheFuckIsSimon]

Well there are two straighteners (straightening plates) in the one device.

[GreatFuckability]

Hippy Priui, obviously.

[HippyDippyRidingPretty]

Priui it is...

And Guinness?

[bumbleymummy]

Wouldn't you just order two pints/glasses of Guinness?

[GreatFuckability]

Guinnesses. I want 3 guinnesses please. After which speech will be the least of my worries.

[SaucyJack]

The plural of Guinness is St Patrick's Day special.

[Andrewofgg]

The plural of Sudoku is Sudokota, it being a highly irregular Greek noun.

[feckityfeck]

Prius ---> Prii, pronounced Pree-ee, I reckon.

Going to the doctors is probably short for going to the doctors' surgery.

Guinesses, like Princesses.

I'm feeling all voice of authority-like. For no good reason. Any others?

[feckityfeck]

Except I missed an n in Guinnesses, which undermines my authority somewhat.
