Just how lazy are you Bill? Scroll down the list and you will get to this (amidst a LOT of other stuff!)
Franky Francophone commented: One item that has a great quantity of names is the flic-flacs...those soft rubber/plastic floppy sandles that cost next to nothing.
Which are called "jandals" in Zild (a brand name, from memory) and "thongs" in Australia. "Thongs" is one of those words which has three meanings depending on how you use it. Singular use means g-string or laced leather vest pull-strings. Plural means "flip flops", "flic-flacs" or "jandals" (or a someone who wears two g-strings at once, I guess!).
I only put the header from the search in before – if you want the whole thing in its monstrous glory, go here (but promise not to resurrect it, please!)
