Two by two definition 1
A slang phrase referencing people pairing up as couples (like animals entering Noah's Ark in twos). Often used teasingly when friends all start dating or when an event turns into a couples-only affair.
"All my friends showed up to the party two by two, and there I was alone – I guess I missed the memo that it was a date night."
