Someone just asked me if I had plans for lunch.
It strikes me as odd that 'plan' needs to be pluralized here. Whose lunch is so complicated, so detailed, that they need to create more than one plan? Even so, if your lunch is so complicated, detailed and full of things to do that it requires you to create a list, wouldn't that still just be a plan? Does the 'plans' refer to contingencies in case the original plan gets altered? If so, how many of us make up plans in advance? Don't most of us make one plan for lunch, and if that falls through, then we make another plan?
Don't even get me started on that single item of clothing called 'pants'.

I like to 'do' lunch. I call friends, and ask to 'do' lunch.. as in "if you have no plans lets 'do' lunch"... odd I agree.
A friend known here as "dave s" is the master of having plans for lunch. He has a complicated social life which often involves plans for one event. It is awe inspiring.
This is true Annie. I think dave s has me pencilled in for the first of March sometime. Can't wait...
