The plural of moose is moose.

Loose louse lose is an actual sentence.
Apple is a fruit, a computer, and a human baby.
Sugar and honey are both sweeteners as well as terms of endearment, while syrup is just a sweetener.
Pudding is a dessert, while puddin' is a term of endearment.
Dessert is food.
Desert is a land mass.
A deserter deserts, or leaves.

"Dogs" can refer to animals or human feet.
"Cats" can refer to animals or cool humans, often associated with jazz.
"...cats and dogs" means "a lot of rain" when coupled with the phrase "it's raining...".
**Time out. It would appear that the assignment of "cats and dogs" to the phrase is purely arbitrary, and could just as well be any other coupling of anything, which, by virtue of being said after the words "it's raining..." would come to mean "a lot of rain". We might as well just say any of the following combinations of words.
"It's raining..."
...babies and yarn.
...saddle bags and day terrors.
...homies and poop.
...yak sushi and pie.
...purple und admonish.
...men and hallelujah.

Why didn't we make it easier?!
We're in control! It's not like we can't say, "okay, we fucked up. What we meant was..."
How in the world have we managed to communicate with each other at all?!
And why the fuck do we care?!
Why do we subject our children to years of torture under teachers who are instructing them in insanity?!
Do we hate our children that much?!
And are we so monumentally fucked up that we seriously can't make up our minds about shit?!
Everything's gotta have an exception, nothing can be consistent!
All we're really saying is that we are grandly inconsistent and nobody's got the balls to straighten it all out.
We're all doomed.

We're awl doomed.
-or-
We is all doomed.
