Thanks for the input! I think I did see that before but as an American English speaker, I didn't feel the connotation that strongly. I'll genuinely keep that in mind and think about that. I wonder others here feel the same. I hear it more often for gears, physics, programming, or synonym for pairs or couple. Maybe it connotes to mating more in biology contexts or maybe British English?

It was the name of a British TV show, so I imagine that makes the connotation Stronger over there.
