Just a form of (deprecated template usage) lots? Needs formatting if OK. SemperBlotto 06:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- To me such reduplication seems to merit a usage example at lots and possibly a redirect to lots. This seems distinguishable from others of the form "X and X" in Category:English reduplications and/or Category:English lexical doublets. DCDuring TALK 12:17, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Dubious. There are parallel constructions like hundred and hundreds or thousands and thousands. But is this "not idiomatic"? --Mglovesfun (talk) 14:11, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- It is not idiomatic, yes. Delete. Cf. also "scads and scads", "loads and loads", etc. Also "more and more", "[comparative] and [same comparative]", and "[adjective], [same adjective]".—msh210℠ (talk) 19:31, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
