Do you mean the British or Aussie meaning of a thong?

Thong for the Antipodean audience old chap. . .don't wish to stretch them colonials too much Y'know. . . .

 

Otherwise it would be the more sensible nomenclature, ie bloody Flip Flops. . . . . unless of course I was referring to an opera singer with a lisp. . . ."With a Thong in my heart". . .etc. . .

I always sang along to, "Look what they've done to my thong, Ma! Look what they've done to my thong."

Is the British meaning the same as the American one?

 

 

[nomadpete]

My autocorrect doesn't change "thong" to "flip flop", nor to "undergarment", so I'm not sure.....

This is Hyperion, the tallest tree in the world. Its exact location is a closely guarded secret.

 

 

 

Mmm. . .yup. It’s in Oregon, co-ords are 41°12'40"N 124°0'10"W

 

 

 

Near to Brookings, Coos Bay, and Lincoln City.

This isn’t a spoiler by the way, this tree was featured in a documentary on national TV a couple of years ago. . .there’s a main road passing close by, . . .apparently they didn't guard the secret that well. . . . ..locals say it was planted by a long gone Indian tribe called the Viagrows. . .

Does anybody remember "Let Stork Strine", or are you all too young to have heard of it?

Not sure what the American interpretation is... However, it reminds me of a little story...

 

Shortly after moving to the UK in the late '90s, I walked into a Woolies store and searched for some (think Australian) thongs. Couldn't find any, anywhere. I was around 30 at the time and it wasn't a particularly big store, so off to the apprx 18 yr old checkout operator an I asked her if they sold thongs. Her facial expression changed immediately to that of a little embarrassed and rather quietly, she said, "No, sir.. we don't."

 

"This is Woolies, right?" I asked and she nodded... "And you don't sell thongs?" I quizzically asked. "No, sir.."

 

"Well then, where may I get some, then?" I asked. She responded rather shyly, "er.. A lingerie store, sir". I was a little flummoxed and retorted, "Why would I go to a lingerie shop to wear something on my feet???".

 

At this stage, she was bright red and I think pressing the security button, when it dawned on her... "Oh, sir *giggle*, you mean flip-flops... I'm sorry - we're all sold out"

Is Hardee's a restaurant or a brothel?

What a great combination - a Hardee in a brothel.

I guess there's not much point being there if it's only a Softee.
