Presidential Flip-flops. Or, as I'm told they used to be called, thongs.

Wow. I love stuff like this. I just wish all these rednecks with "W~Another Four Years" Taped all over the back of their trucks would look at this and actually think intelligently for once. Stupid people.

"Used to be called"

I still call them thongs ... but then, Statesiders think and do and say strange things sometimes. ;)

That? Is a thing of beauty.

...now I want sandals, even though my feet are cold as it is. Heh.

[push-the-limits.livejournal.com]

I've always called them flip-flops. :)

Do they call thongs flip-flops these days?

Thongs are shoes which mainly attach by a thing that goes in between your big toe and the first one after that, that then goes up through that gap and branches out around the foot. They slip off really easily. There's one really popular kind of thongs that are made out of plastic or other cheap, light materials and are often used at swimming pools.

Then later they started making (or at least popularizing) sandals out of the same light materials, and fastened with Velcro instead of buckles. I was chastised for referring to those as sandals, and told repeatedly they were "flip-flops".

I had no idea that they were now calling thongs flip-flops too.

Yes, they do, because "thong" also refers to a particular type of underwear.

Hi There

sorry this is very off-topic, Im not sure how else to reach you...

Basically, ive had my posting access taken away from asperger by staircase_wit for one comment

http://www.livejournal.com/users/staircase_wit/428166.html?view=586374#t586374

Im asking to be reinstated. This is clearly unfair, I posted asking for some civility because I was angry at a thread being opened in which he used the phrase "rub her face in her own shit" he hasnt put who he is referring to, but its clear.
I do feel its unfair to ban me for that, as he does have some issue with me on comments said in the past.
however, banning me because of personal feelings when a hell of a worse has been said on asperger is no way to moderate.

I must post this in my journal, because one of my friends loves pointing out all of Kerry's flipflops.

I still call them thongs. (You can easily differentiate between shoes & underwear by noting that shoes are generally plural, whereas anyone wearing but one thong is either Peg Leg Pete or referring to the underwear version.)

Did you check with the other maintainers? From what I read, I think that while kaiden had a point about your not even reading his post, you shouldn't've been banned like that. But I don't know if that really was the end of it, and I don't want to go against every last other one of the maintainers.

[firecrest.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I already got reinstated by codeman.

yes, indeed, that was the beginning and end of it, I was very surpised to find my membership taken away over a single comment I hadnt even realised had riled him.

[conuly]

*nods* Okay. It does seem wrong that this happened, which is why I wanted to check and make sure that there really wasn't anything else.
