@Hyde OK, this has been bugging me for quite a while. When I was a kid my mom used to have a name for what we now call "flip-flops" and I can't remember what she called them. I think it had something to do with Okibashi or Okabashi. Something like that. I thought that was the brand name, not what the sandals were, but I have no memory, now. Any ideas? Common slang term for those?
@Lazz ''Okabashi'' are the brand name for the common brand mark :) are sandals and also 'flip-flops'
@Hyde Yeah, funny I remembered that, but not the other nickname she called them. I don't know where flip-flops came from, but I don't call them that. Okabashi. I grew up with those around the house, as a kid. Weird flexible rubber, I liked the way they smelled though. Hey thanks for replying. Arigato, Hyde, san!
@Lazz Okabashi means ''socialy ougoing'' americas peoples took the ''okabashi'' from Japanese zōri wich was foot wear in the late world war.
@Hyde I've heard the name zori, but I don't think that was what mom called her sandals. I'll probably never remember. She and her friends might have had their own slang word for them.
@Jesse-But
Lack of testosterone 😂
@Lurker LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
I've heard my parents call them zoris, but now I know them as thongs.

There are several names to call flip-flops in japan 'zori' is the standard name of them but we also can say 'thongs'' like you told and also we say フリップ·フロップ what means literaly the same but being spoken as '' Furippu· furoppu '' what means flip-flop but in generaly we take the easier form 'zori'
@Hyde What is this character - ッ - called in Japanese? Is it called the "smiley face" character? Because that's what it looks like 🤣
@belethor ッ means 'tsu' in Japanese in english it 's a 'uh' like breath holding
not a smiley ~ Japanese emoji have an other look alike ☆ ~('▽^人)
@Hyde Haha okay 😀 That's a cute emoji!

@Hyde I'd think I should be able to recall, as a kid she had me fetching hers all the time. When it's mom asking, best just to do whatever she asks. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it
@Lazz If you want to ask more or at least want to talk about something in private feel free
@Hyde I would like to, thanks
@Lazz you're welcome
