On Thongs...

I am from Edmonton, AB Canada, and what the kids call Thongs a lot of the rest of the world calls flip flops (those cheep rubber sandals that fit between the big toe)

Anyhow, we were in Maui a couple of years ago with my daughters then 5 and 3.  They wanted some "thongs" because the street was too hot to walk on.  So me and my wife merrily went from shop to shop asking if they had any thongs that would fit the kids...

Took about 5 shops giving us a really strange look and then running to the phone before we figured out we wernt in Kansas anymore.

Gazoo, "thongs" is uused her in Europe as well for the same purpose (Sandals)

[Dinger]

Well, there's probly a common etymology hidden there somewhere, I mean,
"thong" indicates a specific type of sandal which is kept on the foot by means of a single piece of cloth or plastic that slips in between the big toe and the one next to it.
So, a "thong" of the bathing suit variety works on the same principle: it is kept on the butt by means of a single thin piece of cloth or plastic that slips in between the ...

Woah. wait a minute.  Aren't we supposed to be discussing Cannon Hawgs and 300-mph panzers?

[Apache]

lol rob53, you will definitely need to bail out. I'll see if I can get my depressed lookin half gray haired guy walkin around with an Oriental wife, with her Mother and 3 of her aunts and 2 kids in tow radar running.

Wait, I think I'll get to many returns to isolate ya! Maybe while you are walking around, continuously move your hands around in aircraft manouvers, I'll spot ya.

This post is meant for Gazoo, but I guess it could go for any of you who may someday elect to visit Hawaii for the first time. Hehe.. if you want flip-flops/sandals, don't refer to them as thongs. Sandals is fine, but "slippahs" (slippers) is much better. You won't get funny looks, unless you try to pronouce it too hard

We had a real good laugh at ourselves and what the clerks must have thought though.
