Lemme see! <br />(I grew up where a thong was a jandal, a flip-flop, as in footwear.<br /> In hubbys world, a thong is the brief underwear that costs ten times more than the material that goes into granny's underwear!<br />I know, I know, it's nothing at all to do with the actual word, but as much as I know the above is all wrong, I will never see diphthong as it is meant! <br />Besides, it's way more fun! :)Jingleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818918125701078566noreply@blogger.com
