digon
In geometry, a bigon, digon, or a '''2-gon''', is a polygon with two sides (edges) and two vertices. Its construction is degenerate in a Euclidean plane because either the two sides would coincide or one or both would have to be curved; however, it can be easily visualised in elliptic space. It may also be viewed as a representation of a graph with two vertices, see "Generalized polygon".
couplet
In poetry, a couplet ( ) or distich ( ) is a pair of successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre. A couplet may be formal (closed) or run-on (open). In a formal (closed) couplet, each of the two lines is end-stopped, implying that there is a grammatical pause at the end of a line of verse. In a run-on (open) couplet, the meaning of the first line continues to the second.

−2
In mathematics, negative two or minus two is an integer two units from the origin, denoted as −2 or −2. It is the additive inverse of 2, following −3 and preceding −1, and is the largest negative even integer. Except in rare cases exploring integral ring prime elements, negative two is generally not considered a prime number.

bistability
thumb|upright=1.4|A graph of the potential energy of a bistable system; it has two local minima x_1 and x_2. A surface shaped like this with two "low points" can act as a bistable system; a ball resting on the surface can only be stable at those two positions, such as balls marked "1" and "2". Between the two is a local maximum x_3. A ball located at this point, ball 3, is in equilibrium but unstable; the slightest disturbance will cause it to move to one of the stable points. thumb|upright=0.8|Light switch, a bistable mechanism
