I always said "A split" but most of what I hear on TV and movies leads me to think I am in the minority.
So funny you should bring this up. Never heard of "the splits" until I moved to Seattle area. In my refined area of PA
we always called it a "split." It is ONE thing, not two...and only in Seattle would a bride in a full length wedding dress "do the SPLITS" at her wedding. Oh my!!!
