I have always called it a "split". Add the "s" and it implies two things are going on.

I've always said "splits." Maybe it's a regional thing.

Well to me the word "splits" sounds too much like a bodily function

I always said "A split" but most of what I hear on TV and movies leads me to think I am in the minority.

"Splits" as a kid when I asked this - the teacher said - You have two legs - splits! I personal think it works the way you want it - UN-less the Split(s), police are around! lol
