thong -
@Joyfano Good stuff. Those are actually very important to know.
Thong is the singular which is rarely referenced. The footwear is most commonly referred to as thongs (plural) as they come in pairs.
In any case, it gives Americans a good giggle when you tell them that one of your thongs broke.Also be careful of the word 'root' as it has very different meanings in US English and AU English.
US English: You can root for a sporting team
AU English: You can barrack for a sporting team -
Lots of Americans call them thongs. That's mostly what they were called when I was young.
-
@nadnerB yes its true from what i had learned
"Also be careful of the word 'root' as it has very different meanings in US English and AU English."
I can't remember but i read in blog last time about other words like "dunnie, Blue"
lols different meaning
Its just nice to learn something -
It has been pretty good all evening.
