There's a worry we'll get caught with our pants down, but better that than the dreaded wedgie.

I was considering what twin words had to do with briefs, jockey shorts, and/or boxers, then I decided not to pursue that line of thinking. <grin>

I knew there was a pair that really bugged me but couldn't think of it when this thread started...
"Are you going to perform a roll switch in that cluster so I can role out those changes?"

One I read the other day in an email from a lady I thought was very intelligent: "I don't know where he is. He got into some legal trouble. Maybe he's on the lamb."
I can picture him running from the law riding a small sheep.
She got all huffy when I pointed out her mistake. I don't mean a bicycle. It would be faster than a lamb.

I found this pair of troublesome twin words to be especially ironic; however, you must understand the context. The government is attempting to annex an unincorporated area, and one of the residents of the unincorporated area responded with this:
"We would hope that the consolidated government would respect the wishes of we Hernandez Heights residents and seize and desist from the acquisition process, ..."
