    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 :p


    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
