“Also got some Speedos for the beach.”
He’ll use dental floss for his “other” thong.
Was she afraid they were for her or him? Or both?
only the Aussies visiting/living here call them thongs, the rest of us call them flip flops
@luv2bead:Not so, in Texas anyway. They were thongs in the 50’s and 60’s, and didn’t become flip-flops until the 70’s. Maybe a Jimmy Buffett thing.
That vision would be cause for a Major Brainwashing.!
I was born in the late 50’s and grew up calling them thongs. I don’t know when it got changed to flip-flops.
From my youth in Hawai’i, we always called them zoris.
Hey, I have a pair of those. They are made of leather and come with a bottle opener on the bottom…
There is a song by the Beach Boys, All Summer Long, in which proper summer attire is described: “T shirt, cut-offs and a pair of thongs”.
