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!"
