    The worse part is that she can’t find them because Dan is wearing them.

    I’ve seen sparkly flipflops. My guess is she means flipflops, but the boys have a different item in mind.

    Maybe she speaks with a lisp and owns some fancy kitchen utensils.

    I believe she was talking about FlipFlops or Zori . They can be really fancy now days. Every time I call them thongs my grand daughters have a fit, and say, “Grandma they are Flip Flops NOT thongs.” However, when I was growing up the other item of clothing now referred to as a thong didn’t exist. I’m learning not to call them thongs, but it is hard to retrain the brain.

    Yes, I first heard of them called Zoris also, then flip flops later. But SOMEBODY better create a word for the diff between thongs that go on your feet and thongs that go on your……well…….you know.

    She’s too ugly to wear thongs on ANY part of her body.

    Jazzlily, I concur. When I was growing up in the 1960’s, rubber sandals were called “Thongs”. It wasn’t until the late 1970’s that I heard them referred to as “Flip Flops”. They were probably called Flip Flops because some kids didn’t know their name and so called them by the sound they make. Real Flip Flops are the hypocrites in political office - promise one thing and do the opposite. “…I’ll fix the economy buy spending every last penny the taxpayers have, make sure that NON-taxpayers benefit from it and then borrow TRILLIONS from China so that we’ve mortgaged the future of 4 generations of Americans to a Communist regime…”.

    The clothing article now called a “Thong” was called “a piece of string” in the 1960’s. (Gosh, I make myself sound old!!) Bald 716 - I would have to agree with that.
