gotta be "bin"

"Bi-noculars" makes no sense as there's no such thing as a "nocular" so it has to be "bin-oculars"

Bi meaning "two", Bin meaning something you put rubbish in tongue


Odd why a telescope is not called a Monocular.

BIN-oculars most definitely.

I also call then 'binos'for short (by nose) but maybe that's because I hang around with too many saffers
