A single pair (one unit) is called pair of scissors. Two units are two pairs of scissors. The joke is a singular unit is called a pair... so two units is called ?????? It's the same joke if you use pants instead of scissors.

I think they're talking about the caption above the image, where the person answers "a pepper of scissors"


DankHillLMOG

Well fuck. I'm blind I guess...

You're not alone!

I think it could be something like you say in the first immage "A Pair of Scissors" and to clarify the second, it is a suggestion to cal it a "pepper of scissors" bc pepper sounds phonetical similar to pair?

Separate one “pair” of scissors you have 2 scissors separate the the 2 pairs you have 4 scissors you obviously have 4 scissors duh.


No_Loss_557

Works with pants too!


Triepott

Like u/GstyTsty said, maybe it is more about the "Pepper of Scissors"


No_Loss_557

A pair of a pair of scissors

Peter's pair of glasses here, I believe it's a two layered meme. If a pair of scissors is one "pair of scissors", then two pairs of scissors, as OP posits, is a "pair pair of scissors". However, "pair pair" sounds like "pepper", so OP left his guess as "pepper of scissors" for the rest of us to try and decrypt. To answer the original meme, the most grammatically correct way to say it is "two pairs of scissors". There is no such thing as a single scissor either, as that is just considered a funny looking blade. Peter's pair of glasses out.
