How it's used
This idiom specifically describes a couple who are inseparable in public settings. It carries a slightly formal or literary tone despite being used in daily speech to gossip about romantic relationships. It is almost exclusively reserved for describing romantic partners rather than friends or colleagues.
Examples
They are always together as a pair, they are really affectionate.
Why are you two always going everywhere together?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe friends or family members, as it strongly implies a romantic connection. Using it for non-romantic pairs can sound confusing or suggest a relationship that does not exist.
