Author Topic: Does anyone else call flip-flops "thongs"?  (Read 2748 times)


This is clearly relating to the footwear and nothing else.
Clone, are you purposely being a douchebag?
I have never heard them called thongs before.

When i Google thongs i only get underwear. A vast majority call them flip-flops. However i know that in Hawaii they call them "slippahs"
This, if you Google image search "thongs" you'll get softcore research underwear, not shoes.

that's not being a douchebag, silly! that's trolling!

Can't say I've ever actually heard them called "thongs" here, but I was aware that it was one name for them.

I prefer flip-flops as a name. Onomatopoeia is funny.


I'd rather wear sandals though. Something that's not going to fall off my foot all the time.

Go to any department store and ask for thongs and I guarantee you they'll direct you to lingerie.

"thongs" is the gayest name for flip-flops i ever heard

they are underwear with no back.
But wouldn't that be like assless chaps but with underwear

I used to ca flip-flops Fap-fops Because forget L and I

prove it

Flip flops+socks= best look going.

I was aware that 'thong' is a term for flip-flops, but I consider it equivalent to calling a cat a pusillanimous individual. I don't look at my cat and say, "I'd like to rub that pusillanimous individual," and I don't point at flip-flops and tell someone to put on their thongs.
