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.

    The fact that this is a common enough occurrence to warrant a special tool for the occasion makes me so jealous of your life

    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
