What's your houses equivalent of a poop knife.

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 is a common occurrence at my home as well. When there’s heavy rain frogs get caught in our window wells, some make it inside, some get caught between the windows and screen. I just put on a pair of gloves, fish em out and set them free on higher ground.

Once my cat frantically came yowling up the stairs with a frog in her mouth. Set it down gently, unharmed and stared at me loudly meowing as if to say “look what I found, WTF is this? Do something about it.”

I have a set of tongs at home with frogs for the silicone grips. Living at the beach it’s not uncommon for green tree frogs to make their way inside the doggie door.

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.

The frog tong is one half of a pair of tongs yes. You lure the frog on it and catapult the fucker outside.
