Back in the late 50s when they first hit Ohio,
they were zoris, then thongs or flip-flops. They
can still be thongs - it just depends on which
department of the store you are in, shoes or
lingerie.

Actually
when growing up we always called that flat type of footwear thongs, aka
"flipflops".Ý Didn't know it was called anything
else.Ý I still call them thongs instead of flipflops.Ý But until
the NOW generation I have to second think myself knowing what they term as
a thong and I might get a funny look LOL!!
Thanks, David, for
the fun read.
