Woman: Hon, have you seen any of my thongs? I'm missing my red pair and the sparkly ones. To their complete revulsion, Dan and his friends overhear too much information from Dan's mother.

I’ve seen sparkly flipflops. My guess is she means flipflops, but the boys have a different item in mind.

Jazzlily, I concur. When I was growing up in the 1960’s, rubber sandals were called “Thongs”. It wasn’t until the late 1970’s that I heard them referred to as “Flip Flops”. They were probably called Flip Flops because some kids didn’t know their name and so called them by the sound they make. Real Flip Flops are the hypocrites in political office - promise one thing and do the opposite. “…I’ll fix the economy buy spending every last penny the taxpayers have, make sure that NON-taxpayers benefit from it and then borrow TRILLIONS from China so that we’ve mortgaged the future of 4 generations of Americans to a Communist regime…”.
The clothing article now called a “Thong” was called “a piece of string” in the 1960’s. (Gosh, I make myself sound old!!) Bald 716 - I would have to agree with that.
