in the US "thong" means both butt-crack underwear, and the shoes, which we also call "flip-flops". We use the term "g-string" only for the very tiniest of underwear, such as what you might find on a stripper.but a thong in america and Uk, is called G string in australia
and In australia a thong is those summer shoes.
"root" and "rout" are funny in the US in that they started as different words, but now both mean the same thing: either to dig with your nose (think pigs), or cheer for a team. "root" also, of course, has botanical meanings.-In Australia, to "root" means to have physical relations
-Lol! stephanie i was nearly appalled too when i saw root!!
truly dirty physical sex, we might refer to as "rutting", but few people use that phrase any longer...
don't let the "moral majority" fool you. To 90% of americans "damn", "f**k", "s**t", "b***h", and most any other swear word are all very natural, and all at one time or another are used to mean "oh crap!"ALso "damn" is a very bad word in america
where as in australia its very natural and it means "oh crap!"
In fact, on american TV, when someone says "God Damn it!", they bleep out the word "god", but leave the word damn. I'm not religious, but this still seems really stupid to me...
