How many people do you know who calls flip flops thongs?

I know it's a weird question heres the story behind it. My dad was walking around the house looking for his shoes while shouting where are my thongs? Of course i can't resist teasing him about it. My dad and I have a relationship with a lot of teasing. so i say don't thongs give you wedgies?...





So now i am wondering if a lot of people call flip flops thongs...

How many people do you know who calls flip flops thongs?
Always called them thongs growing up in TX- perhaps it is a regional term, like pop, soda, etc.

Reply:we have always called flip flops thongs. i think in the world of clothing any narrow stap that goes between two body parts is designated "thong".

Reply:It's largely generational.





In the US, at any rate, "flip flops" were called "thongs" long before the underwear came into the picture.





I probably say "flip flops" more often than I say "thongs" now, when referring to the footwear. But 1) it took me a long time to get to that point and 2) I might be saying "flip flops" but I'm *thinking* "thongs".





The definition of "thong" is a strip of material, usually leather, used to secure or fasten something. Hence the use of the word "thong" to describe the footwear. And, later, the underwear.
