Today, my daughter had a vocabulary assignment. She had to find five new words in books and movies. She was watching Shrek, so her first word was "thong". FML

Sometimes it's just great how many adult jokes are in kid movies.

Just tell her it means "sandals" because it does in other places of the world

Oh yeah, I'm sure that'll work out just great. "What did you do over summer break, Katie?" "Mommy and I went shopping for thongs to wear to the beach!"

Shrek is not trash!!! Shrek is love, Shrek is life.

My new vocabulary words are alohomora, levicorpus, accio, sectumsempra, and crucio

Here in the land of Oz, that's footwear.

Just tell her it's a flip flop. It would pass in Australia.

Thong, like flip flops :D We'll go with that.

Oh big deal. So she knows about a type of underwear. Precious sheltered snowflake.

She got that far into the movie before she found a new vocabulary word? Depending on how old she is, that's impressive.

Depending on where you live, it's also a flip flop. But most dictionary definitions describe it as a strip of leather.

It's "sexy" underwear certainly not meant for children. Being 41, I grew up knowing them as things you wear on your feet. Autstralians still call them that.

In Shrek 2, they tell Pinocchio to lie and say he's wearing lady's underwear and gingy says it's a thong, which is where it comes from. I feel like it's only sexy if you make it seem that way, everybody I know wears thongs because they like them better, not about the appeal or for sexual reasons. It's just underwear
