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.

    We’ve got a frog tong. Every time a frog gets in the house catch it with a tong and toss it in the garden.

        Very often during the monsoon season. Like twice a week or so. The rest of the year, barely. Summers is for lizards.

      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.
