Here the word "thong" means something you put on your feet when you go to the beach, but I must admit the American interpretation of the word is much more interesting....

I always get a kick out of telling visiting Americans to be sure to take their thongs to the beach.  Sometimes I add that grandma will be wearing hers too...

I hardly think a steady soldering hand would be available after all those margaritas.

I find it rather amusing, actually, that when I was growing up those beachy sandals were "thongs."  It was only later in my days that "flip flops" seemed to become the ubiquitous nomenclature.  I used to hear about how sexy it was for girls to wear thongs to the beach, and was rather confused at first.  I was especially confused to hear about "thong underwear."  Then one day I became enlightened.
