Haha the first time I heard the term was when an Australian aunty came over to visit. All my cousins and I had shocked looks on our faces when she told us to put our thongs on. :D

(re: kessie) it's more common to call them jandals in New Zealand instead of flip flops

kowen	Posted Nov 25th, 2009 at 1:36AM HEREWHAVEMYEYEBALL, Is right,when she mentions to Kessie that the term Jandal is more common.That name came out in New Zealand 40 odd years ago,to describe the New Zealand name for the Australian "Thong".Enother slang word was "Japanese Riding boots"I don't know where it came from,but it was used back then.

kessie	Posted Nov 24th, 2009 at 10:10PM I think other countries call them flipflops (well in NZ they do) see pics http://images.google.com.au/images?hl=en&source=hp&q=thongs+for+feet&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2&aq=f&oq= Rated: +1Vote for this!
edgargeorge	Posted Nov 25th, 2009 at 7:49AM We Yanks used to call them that, until the thong underwear became a big deal -- now, we're all afraid people will think we are asking our children to go find and wear kinky underwear, when all we want to get them to do is find a pair of shoes to put on quickly. :) Rated: +1Vote for this!
