Simple, cheap, rubber sandals held on the feet with a two-piece strap, which is anchored to the top of the sole on the inside foot arch, between the big and second toes and on the outside near the heel. Thongs were invented in New Zealand in the late 50s, but, like any other Kiwi invention, they were quickly claimed by Australians as their own (see also Russell Crowe and Crowded House).
Shit, I forgot my thongs, how am I going to get across the road to the beach without burning my friggin' feet?
If that dog has chewed up my thongs again I'm takign him back to the pound

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.

as sexy as they can be, thongs are also known as "ass floss" and can be quite painful when a friend decides to yank on the strings.
