Used to be called thongs. Maybe still once in a while, but these are sandals or flip-flips.Smeg wrote:In Australia these are known as "Thongs"
These days a thong is a specific type of women's panties or bikini bottom.

Kids have confiscated my computer and won't give it back. I told on them to my wife and she said Santa has it under control. I think that means I'm stuck on either the kindle table or the cell phone till Christmas.cob wrote:jb you promised a picture in both this and the hay aussies thread??? what up?
