racer96's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thongs, a history. I was all set to write an entry about Superman thongs, when I checked my sitemeter reports, and found out that , well, that's what everyone seems to be coming here to check out. It turns out I had already written about Superman thongs. The more things change..... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Of course, being the hit whore that I am, I'm going to write a little bit more about Superman thongs anyway. Well, not superman ones. But thongs. What I want to know is this. When exactly did thongs go from that fun little bit of beachware that all kids wore, to the delectable bit of underwear that women wear. Wait, that makes me look really bad. When I say all kids wore, I'm talking about the thong sandal. The one that goes on your foot. Or feet. Anyways, yeah, thongs. That's what I grew up calling them. Not sandals, those were just for girls (oh the irony.) Not shoes. Not feet protectors (I've never heard anything called that, but I needed another example.) Thongs. But now, if I was to say "I need to get a pair of thongs." Well, I'd get alot of really weird looks. When all it is that I want is a frilly piece of underwear. Erm, I mean footware (frilly optional) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I'm going to get alot of google hits for this entry. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If anyone could really point me in the direction of a site that would explain when the vernacular thong went from foot to nether regions, I'd appreciate it. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ok, I've spent way too much time talking about thongs. I'm so embarassed. (or not) Mike 7:31 p.m. - 2003-11-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
