Why are thongs called thongs?
Answers:
It's the sound it makes when you pull it back and let it go.
Have you ever tried thinging a thong with a lithp?
because thingers keep putting music to the words !
It's a word formed from the conjuction of the two words which describe most appropriately the object in question:
THing all wrONG..THONG.
:P
Let's apply some basic logic here! If a pair of thongs are held onto your feet by the toe strap that goes between your 2 toes, when perhaps a persons butt cheeks are like toes & the strap that goes between your cheeks holds the underwear onto your body just like your toes hold the shoes onto your feet. Can't you just feel the love here?!!
It comes from the scientific instrument . a "tong"
Like a tong they are made to hold things tightly in place. Which I don't think is disturbing in "tongs" as it is in "thongs!". The "h" was just added to change the word
In the past, thongs were called:
Posing Straps
G-Strings
T-Backs
Au Naturel Tan Suit
Micro Suit
Pouch.
its just a name

Perhaps because calling it "bum floss" was a little too harsh and no one would buy them.
It comes from the Kimbundu word 'Tanga'

In English its used the word 'Thong'
Consisting on a strip of leather, or an undergarment or swimwear consisting of very narrow strips designed to cover just the genitals and nothing more.
