Thong

1) A particular cut of a brief or leotard (or in clothing fashioned after said articles, such as a teddy, a bodysuit, dance belts, etc., ad nauseam) where, rather than having fabric covering the buttocks, there is a strip of fabric that lies between the buttocks. Usually done either for sexual appeal or to cut down on panty lines - or both.

2) A popular model of sandal with a rubber sole, and two fabric straps to hold the foot in, in such a fashion that it connects near the front of the sandal in a knot that rests between the big and second toes.

Comes mostly from technical documents, specifically where compiling is involved, as sometimes the process of compiling code takes a while.

In Soviet Russia...

The lead-in to many a tired old joke on Slashdot, where the punchline is a reverse of what is normal. Sometimes produces screamingly funny results, often produces a yawn.

Derived from old Yakov Smirnoff jokes, where Mr. Smirnoff (a Soviet expatriate) used to do the same thing when talking about the former Soviet Union during his routines.
