heh... a friend of mine had a "thong party" once ; you had to wear thongs (on your feet ; the "other kind" of thong is called a "string" in french). i mentioned this to an anglophone friend and she nearly fell out of her chair : "what ?? is he planning to check ???" after a moment of confusion we straightened things out. then she burst out laughing : "i just got a mental image of someone wearing a thong [shoe] inappropriately."
ever since then i can't hear the word "thong" with a straight face.
