Like the flip flops! Now-a-days a person isn't supposed to call them thongs. They were thongs when they were introduced to us back in the 50's...but today thongs are worn on a different part of the body.

...oh...and if you forget and refer to someone's flip-flops as thongs in public with a grown up daughter or growing up grandchild around, you get shushed along with "Mom, I've tooooold you..." comments.

AKA Zories. Would one be a zory?

Excellent flip flops Brian,great image.:)

In Hawai`i people call them slippers and wear them all the time, but never indoors, winter and summer. It's a Japanese custom not to wear shoes inside. They are left at the door. The Islanders picked up on that custom.

I remember calling them thongs in the late '70s, but switching over to flip-flops because it was funner to say. ;)

I still hear "thong sandals" (vs. "thong underwear") in the Deep South. Of course, folks also say "ink pen," because "pen" and "pin" are pronounced the same 'round here.

Nice

Cool puzzle, Brian. I can't wait to solve the others.

Thanks. It is a pretty easy series. Not too much of a challenge.
