RE: Adventures in Oz: Aussie English part 2
We called them thongs when I was a kid, growing up in the SW USA. I remember hearing flip-flops the first time and thinking it sounded odd. That was probably the mid to late 70s.
Very interesting! In Michigan I always heard the term flip flops. This was in the late 80s
Yep, me too! In the 80s they were thongs here in Oklahoma, for sure. I remember an especially popular brand, with thick, soft foam rubber soles, called "tiddies" ! HA
