Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. Why? My Australian friend sent me a message saying I'd left my thongs at his house. My boyfriend still refuses to believe that they call flip-flops thongs in Australia. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he's convinced wearing boxer briefs instead of panties makes me a lesbian. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend for cheating on me. I refused his calls, so he texted, not to apologize, but to say I'd "left some clothes in his suitcase"; i.e., he stole some of my clothes. When he didn't get the response from me that he was hoping for, he texted, "I'm wearing your shorts." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because I was "angry" at him. I was angry because last night he turned off his phone and left me locked out of the Airbnb that I had paid for. Until 3 am. In a foreign country. FML

I mean he should've let you explain but at the same time if he never knew that, it somewhat justifiable

Good thing he didn't find the message from your "friend" where if he asked if you had any rubbers available. Then, you'd try to have to bullshit your boyfriend that he meant erasers.

Wow! You think fast on your feet - I’m going to have to remember that one.

No, she's right. A thong is a flip-flop. The underwear is a g-string.

A thong (undies) and g stings are different, (:

You don’t have to convince me 😉, just her boyfriend

Look, I'm not saying a g-string and a thong are the same thing, just that the Australians call a thong a g-string. If you got a problem with that, go complain to them.

I’m Australian. A thong is a g-string and flip flops are thongs.

As an Aussie, we do! Pluggers, Double Pluggers, or Thongs! What everyone else calls a THONG as in underwear we call a G-String, dunno why but we do!

In America flip flops used to be called thongs! Until that thong thong thong song came out!

And that's why in France we spell them "tongs", no H. I know it also has a meaning in english but at least it's not underwear-related...

Your boyfriend's an idiot. I know that in other parts of the world they call flip-flops thongs. And even if you'd left underwear over there, there is an entirely innocent explanation, especially if you were staying overnight (in a separate bedroom).

As an Australian I can agree that we call them thongs
