Question Team Lead, Technology Services

Is there a term to describe phrases like the following. I want to look up more but I don't know what to call them:
nuts and bolts
ins and outs
pots and pans
bread and butter
meat and potatoes
socks and shoes
up and down

I would call them common collocations. Perhaps someone knows another name.
