L_Blue Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Can anyone here say for sure what the plural of twix is. I say the plural of twix is still twix i.e. "I have many twix." However my housemate reckons that it should be twixes. I say this is wrong because if you have a single finger twix you have a twix but if you have a dual finger twix it is still a twix. My housemate claims that dual finger twix are called twix because twix is derived from twin. If you are using this logic this would make a single finger twix a twi.... or something. What do you reckon? P.S. I realise that this is a pretty inane topic but I have work to do and thinking about this is distracting me. Quote
Mac Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 The origin of TWIX is a simple error in Anglo-Saxon shit, it means between. ATB Mac Quote

Mac Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 I am "lucky" enough to have had a classical education. Prescot Grammar School for Boys, there is no plural of between, it is like saying what is he plural of many. Twix, is between, no silliness. Now go and enjoy your chocolate bars. ATB Mac Quote
MikeO Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 The origin of TWIX is a simple error in Anglo-Saxon shit, it means between. Isn't that Twixt? Quote
L_Blue Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 Yeah but Twix isn't using the word in the sense that it means between you are not essentially saying I am going to the shop to buy a 'between' the actual meaning of the word is irrelevant. It's like when you buy a mars bar you are not saying I am going to buy a bar made from a small red planet. Twixi could still be a possibility or even Twixen Quote
thebluenose Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 simple i say twixs. but thats if there more than one packet as they come in 2's Quote
Mac Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Isn't that Twixt? No Mike, that is the literal translation of "inbetween" as opposed to "between". ATB Mac Quote
L_Blue Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Posted March 17, 2007 simple i say twixs. but thats if there more than one packet as they come in 2's But you can get single finger twix and they are still called twix Quote
Andy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 twox,or maybe twax? id go for twixes,if they wanted one to be called a twix, then theyd have only come in ones, thus twix being, so i say twixes, i wouldnt ask for 2 twix at a counter Quote
Louis Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 I call them twixes if more than 2 fingers.. I class a twix as 2 parts.. I evan say half a twix when referring to 1 finger Quote
