**like
my hip hugging black pants **

Oh, Geez,

I went shopping this weekend, needed some clothes. I thought I was pretty cool, so I tried on some of those jeans, low riders. UGH!!

I think they came lower than my c-section scar and if I would have bent over, my butt would have fallen out!!

I ended up getting some capris that were kind of hip huggers, but not low riders.

I felt old!

For the most part, the first of the two.

I actually have a few pair of these and then had to go buy low-rise underwear
because my "granny-panties" (as my friend calls them) were hanging out above
the waistband. I'm thinking that the target market of young girls for these
jeans are already wearing thongs so that isn't a problem for them. LOL

Back in PA when I was younger we called flip flops thongs. That was actually
before the thongs we know now, butt floss undies. I have also heard flips
flops called zorries. If you say you wear thongs though, don't expect people
to think of your feet!!

A thong is a cord or string, chiefly of leather. So thongs are the shoes
that have one strip of leather or rubber or now nylon between the toes. That's
the thong.

And on thong underwear, the thong is doing very little good but holding the
front in place.

Thongs and flip-flips are about the same, but I think the old-time 1960's
rubber ones (still for sale, I saw some this week) were called thongs, and the
newer version with thick rubber souls and nylon tops (better made) are
flip-flips more specifically. ( It could be regional, too.)

And the other (I forget the word) Japanese term is used when they're made of
natural materials (at least in part) with the reed bottoms.



How Rowlocks Can Work

The thong went around the oar and fastened to the rowlocks of the day, two
parallel posts (tholes) set in the gunwale of the boat. The thong prevented the
oar from jumping out of the rowlock or sliding into the drink; similar
arrangements can be seen on modern boats built in traditional styles.

----

thong - O.E. fiwong "thong," from P.Gmc. *thwangaz, from a root meaning "to
restrain." As a kind of sandal, first attested 1967; as a kind of bikini briefs,
1990s.

The Etymology of Greatness

10 July 2000
Jamie wants to say something about words. Using words. And Word™.



But some words are far, far greater than others. Let's go deeper.
Take 'thong', for example. It's not just great because of its associations
with scantily clad lovelies in 'rap' videos, it's a genuinely good word. Say it
a few times. Let the thong roll over your tongue. Tasty. My mate Steve's a big
advocate of 'bungalow', which can be enjoyed by everyone, but is particularly
fragrant doused in Scouse (any northern speak will do, but try scouse if you
get the chance). And why is Eddie Izzard so fond of saying 'jam'? It's not
just because of his affection for preserved fruit or Chris Morris' twisted
brainchild; no one can hear the word without its phonetic beauty possessing their
being and sending warm, strawberry emotions coursing through their veins. Which
makes them laugh.

Over here (Australia) thongs are footwear and butt-floss undies are called g-strings.

When I was in Jr. High school, thongs were the spongy 'higher" flip flops
with different colored layers of foam between a sandwich of black foam, with
fuzzy/silky straps that matched the bottom part of the sandal. They were ultra
cool, surfer style flip-flops. If you were really rich, you got the ones made
by Bolt lightening, a popular brand of surfboard at the time.

There is a difference between g-string and thong underwear, tho. A g-string
is a triangle in front and the rest is string. Thongs have the triangle in
front, but a wider band along the hips, and the band is wider along the back
and butt that gets narrower as you go down.

~Aimee ( who wears thongs, but not g-strings!, and flip flops in the summer
time, hehehe)
