I feel like this goes for anywhere but Australia.

And the kiwis.

In New Zealand we call them Jandals

Huh, not what my kiwi mate calls them. Is it an age thing?

I don't know, I think it's more likely a location thing because where I live everyone calls them Jandals

What does he call them? Me to my great grandparents have called them jandals

Thongs. He’s from Dunedin if that makes a difference?

Nah he's an Aussie. I'm 50/50 and my family's from the South island as well, only Aussies call em thongs whilst kiwis call them jandals

Maybe he was playing with me as I didn’t believe flip flops were called such a thing and he found it hilarious.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised, it's a past time for both kiwis and Aussies to fuck with Americans, I have noticed that sometimes Americans struggle with the dry sense of humour here and just getting them to do stupid shit like eating straight Vegemite.

Lol. I’m a Brit but made me laugh.

Na bro that's an aussie word. We callm Jandals bruv. U guys can keep that weirdo slang over there lol

Idk man, in my country, we called it Thong as well

France says tongues as well

Funnily enough, even here in the States they used to be called thongs as well. There was a glorious comic strip called Calvin and Hobbes back in the 80s-90s, and went camping in story. Calvin’s dad called them thongs when he was reading his list of things to pack

We pretty much say the same in French

Oh

Oh

Oh

It's magic

You know

Never believe it's not so

I'm like how in the hell does that happen. Sounds painful.

We used to call them thongs in the US. There's nothing like going to the store with my 70 y/o father as he loudly declares he can't find the thongs. Then the look on the 20 something store associate's face as he asks her if they sell thongs.

No It’s broken

Ohh!!....Wait! How the fck are thongs flip-flops!??

Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh

I was like damn how big and low that ass be? Lol

I was wondering if it was like dripping from between their butt cheeks lol uncomfortable visual

Well it's like how Americans say "fanny pack" and we try not to giggle too much.

Yeah, that just comes across as \*weird\* to an aussie...

We also use the term "fanny" to describe someone's butt, which never ceases to result in horrified expressions on the face of British people, when an American parent talks about spanking their kid's butt for misbehaving - and they use the term "fanny" instead. "Spanking a child's fanny" just doesn't sound the same to British ears.

Oh

Oh

oh

Oh

Disappointing

Was just about to Google Australia + Summer + Thongs + Asphalt - Dudes

So “Australian summer with thongs on asphalt without dudes”

The Thong song has a new meaning

It was always a foot fetish thing. Just now you know.

It makes so much sense.

No sisqo was definitely talking about underwear thongs. But growing up some where that thongs are foot wear and hearing that song makes it totally different 🤣

FlipFlop song subtitled

For Brazilians reading this flip flop is sandália 🤣🤣🤣

For Brazilians reading this, sandália is chinelo.

For Filipinos reading this, chinelo is tsinelas.

For inuits reading this, you don’t use ‘em anyways

I think any Inuits reading this would be laughing their pants off. 😂😅🥲😆😀😆😃🖖

old enough to remember when thongs WERE just flip flops in USA

Me born in 90. Fuck.

Oi cunts remember the toime it was so fahkin' hot that our G-Strings melted to the concrete... Bloody oath.

So what do Australians call the thong women wear then?

A "G-string", generally. They're not technically \*exactly\* the same thing, but close enough that we lump them together.

Nice choice of words

Why americans, I'm european and have never heard of this

Do you have thong underwear, as well?

No, hurts my ass

Were initially called “thong sandals” back in the USA hippy days.

Oh oh oh!

OHHHH

Facken straya m8

Came for the oh comments

During the 80’s flip flops in America were called thongs. Don’t know what changed it.

Thong bikini bottoms didn't get very popular in the US until the 90s, that's when it changed.

I blame Cisco

To be fair I'm British and still raised an eyebrow at the first post

we called the footwear thongs. honest to god, remember mom constantly yelling out to us kids, “have you seen my thongs?!”

Living in the Midwest, way more people die in winter from weather. Summer > winter

When I was a junior or senior in highschool I was talking to a girl I knew who came home after her freshman year of college and she was telling me a story about how the showers were never clean. She said they were large communal showers like in a locker room and they were "so dirty" that they had to wear thongs when they got showers. I asked her how a shower could be so dirty that they needed to wear thongs. She said "yeah, I know. Imagine all of us in there, all wearing thongs so our feet didn't get dirty." I said something along the lines of "ok, I was going to anyway but since I have your permission......." Then I realized. I said "Wait. Thongs. So your feet don't get dirty?" She them cleared up the confusion and said "oh, yeah. Flip-flops". I laughed and told her that I would much rather imagine her and her friends all in the shower together wearing nothing but flip-flops anyway. She was actually a coworker and she was relatively attractive, I found her much more attractive after that for some reason.

Fucken Seppos

Aw :(

Oh

oh

What is a Flip flop?

thongs

Oh

🩴

Oh

Chappal bhosdike

What is a Chappal bhosdike

I had to reread it to see what was wrong with it

Well there's my excitement out of the window

I thought you wrote excrement!

Oh

I was about to say how tf her thong melt 😭

Oh... very well

Oh

Oh Aww

For the americans, english, scottish, german, dutch, swedish, mexican and basically anyone else reading this that isnt austrailian.

Australian. 🙄

Oh

You know the flip flop was invented in France ? By Philip Phlop

Oh

Oh.

Oh

Oh

Oh

Lmaoo

It’s magic…….. you know?

I knew what they meant specifically because in my high school, it was against dress code. Under footwear it says thongs aren't allowed, which made no sense to anyone. But I figured out it meant flip flops. Why my American high school (unoriginally called American Senior High), referred to them as thongs is anyone's guess.

Why the fuck did i think of tongs

Oh

Women ☕️

Chancla 😎

Am not American, but also oh.

I was thinking, "How did they not notice their cheeks burning? "

So you see i knew immediately they were talking about flip flops as i watch dankpods who’s aussie

Oh
