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.

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.
