I'd never heard "the splits" until a few years ago, and it still sounds weird to me.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I keep calling my family adn we have nothing new to even talk about regarding the house, but I keep calling.
When I was in the process of buying this house, my sister and I would call each other constantly just to squee over how perfect it all was. (And to complain about what an idiot the realtor was.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When my older brother was buying his first house, we talked all the time about the buying process. I remember his exasperation over the seller holding things up because of a dispute over $20.

Punishingly Intricate
Too many people have already made me think "WTF, People" this morning, and I'm still on my first cup of coffee.
I already had to tell my boss that I had pledged to have a good attitude today and he was TRYING MY PATIENCE! ha! I'm still doing okay though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I will hypothesize that "a split" is in the Northeast, "the splits" elsewhere.
I should be working on my attitude, but it's haaaaard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Jesse, I will skew your hypothesis by saying "a split". "The splits" is weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, how about: "the splits" is the Midwest, "a split" is elsewhere?

I've never heard "a split."
I've never heard of "the splits"? What does this mean?
