Grice would frequent two pubs:
-- The Lamb and Flag
and
-- The Bird and the Baby
(the latter is slang for the real name of the pub). Both are on St. Giles'.
The idea is that
X and Y
pubs usually invite an implicature.
Suppose I name a pub
The Peter and Paul
-- the implicature being: that Westminster Cathedral (St. Peter's originally) is a better building than St. Paul's, in the City.
For _any_ "X and Y" you'll invite an implicature, you want it or not.
