HI THERE 8) rofl

*gasp* you call them thongs too? am I wrong in thinking a lot of Americans still call them 'flip flops'? D: or is that Brits... i'm so confuse

[omgimsuchadork]

No, Americans do call them flip-flops. I, personally, call them thongs (I have quite a few non-Americanisms in my speech and writing). It really confuses people who think I'm speaking of my underwear, and it doubly confuses people who think I'm talking about shoes at first, but then think I'm not because I'm American. XD

[iamelegentmess]

oh phew *wipes forehead* I thought I had one less thing to tease American tourists about XD

[omgimsuchadork]

Even if you did, there'd still be plenty to tease us about. XD

WELL HIYA -waves-

I'm jumping on the 'thongs' conversation (because that sports talk makes my brain go all gkdljkdlsh; ) just to say that I think you're the only person I've ever heard refer to them like that. Are you originally from ny? cause I think I've heard of it as a regional thing. XD;

[omgimsuchadork]

HIHI!

Yeah, sorry, there's a lot of sports here. I try to keep it to a minimum but when there's a really good game on (or an important one, or one that I went to), I gush. Tonight was one of those nights. Sorry!

New York-born and -raised. But sure, it's a regional thing. In fact, as far as I know, it's specifically an Aussie thing. But as I explained to iamelegentmess, I spout quite a few non-Americanisms. I learned them here and there from various sources.

I was in the NVC studying today and was thinking, "I-I want to go visit Venus! ...but argasfsdf, 'need to study. FOCUS. ;A;" OTL

So difficult. Haha. Glad you were busy then. It worked out. XDb

Adding to the thong convo~ I only learned that people refer to them flip-flops like last year. I always just classified them as slippers. orz W-well, now I know something else. XD;;

[omgimsuchadork]

Slippers, flip-flops, thongs, sandals, shower shoes... they go by a bajillion names.

I wouldn't have minded the visit, though. I was seriously chillin' by myself for the first hour. I only got work done because it's mostly mindless and my fingers just type by themselves.

Y U HATE PITTSBURGH VENUS OH WAIT I MEANT

AWESOMEBURGH

[omgimsuchadork]

I don't hate Pittsburgh, really, I just hate Crosby. I don't like Pittsburgh because they're ahead of my team, and someone needed to take them the hell down. Any team but Philly, though, GDI.

ALSO, LOL. YES.

[sarshin]

CROSBY IS AN AWESOME KID >8C

but I hate Philly, too, so we can agree on that 8D

[omgimsuchadork]

It's an irrational hatred, mostly. Y'know how when you see someone and you just don't like their face? Yeah, that.

YEAH PHILLY SUCKS I'M MAD THEY WON >:C

[omgimsuchadork]

I like how that's gotten the most attention. XD
