Thread[{x,y}]


??Thread

Thread[f[args]] ``threads'' f over any lists that appear in args.
   Thread[f[args], h] threads f over any objects with head h that appear in
   args. Thread[f[args], h, n] threads f over objects with head h that appear
   in the first n args. Thread[f[args], h, -n] threads over the last n args.
   Thread[f[args], h, {n, m}] threads over arguments n through m.
