    For added confusion, in Australia a "thong" is a sandal.
    It began on seven hills - an EB 1.1 Romani AAR with historical house-rules (now ceased)
    Heirs to Lysimachos - an EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR with semi-historical houserules (now ceased)
    Philetairos' Gift - a second EB 1.1 Epeiros-as-Pergamon AAR

    And to confuse things even more, here in the US, "thong" refers to both a sandal (of the "flip-flop" variety) and the "perizoma", though a "perizoma" is also called a "G-string" in American English. Confused yet?
    I am (and I live here).

    Very interesting to know these things, didn't know the perizoma was a thong, neither that thongs also means sandal in the US and Australia!

    now im even more confused, sandal is referred to the tree or the shoes? nono just joking i know you are refereing to the shoes

    anyway in french it seems it is preferred the word "Tanga" (could be it is a transformation of the english Thong? or viceversa?), while in italian we have both words "tanga" and "perizoma" (but perizoma is more used than Tanga, in italian the word Tanga had a period of popularity during the 80' and early 90' while now i see everyone uses more the good old word "perizoma", at last it's just my impression, girls talk of perizomas not tangas, i dont hear the word "tanga" very often here), so is this word (perizoma) still used in neo-greek too? or have it some different meaning in modern greek? just curious cause it is a word of greek ethimology...

    Romanians use Tanga.


    But what does this have to do with Epeirotes in Arpi?

    Perhaps they are wearing them down at the epirotean beach club?
