Well one of my dear friends and member of the youth group that I work with told me that he would like to see a blog regarding thong sandals. Well I have given this much thought and realized that he is exactly right, there is a problem with calling thong sandals, thongs.
Ok Folks let us be grown-ups here we all know that when people hear the word thong they are not thinking of foot wear.
However, someone decided that they would refer to sandals that go between the toes as thong sandals.
Webster says that a thong is an item of clothing or a material that fastens or holds something with a small piece of material.
So technically you can call thong sandals thongs. But lets be real here. Can we not just call them sandals. I remember being in high school and the principle would state the dress code and say, "guys not thongs sandals." Ok that got a laugh but then as he continued to refer to this he began to abbreviate and take off Sandals from the term. As you can imagine this led to a great uproar of midschool laughter. I do not have much to say here but be careful with you terminology and come quickly summer that I may start wearing my thongs....sandals that is.
