Why don't we refer to twins and triples as a litter? (lemmy.world)

Until I had twins I didn't know they have a word for those of us born one at a time, singleton.

Now I catch myself using it in regular conversation and have to try not to. Example: "I've got twins and my bestie has twins and a singleton so we have to travel in her 7-seater van for day trips."
