Fruits
We were making breakfast (Pancakes!) this morning, when Christopher started to explain to us how Australians tend to make up a plural form of a word for words that don't actually have a plural form.
His example: "Would you like some fruits?"
"fruit" is one of those words that is the same in single or plural form.
"Fruits" isn't really a word.
Then Dick came up with the exception:
"Unless you're talking about gays, that is."
"Look at all of those FRUITS!"
