Some words go together like jelly and peanut butter… wait, that sounds super weird.
A pair of words that is used in a fixed order in an idiomatic expression is called an ‘irreversible binomial.’
‘Peanut butter and jelly’ is an example of an irreversible binomial.

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure
The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:
"The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board
