The Life Behind a THONG

The G-string or thong is probably the earliest form of clothing known to mankind; having originated in the warmer climates of sub-Saharan Africa where clothing was first worn nearly 75,000 years ago. Many tribal peoples, such as some of the Khoisan people of southern Africa, wore thongs for many centuries. Much like the 2000-plus-year-old Japanese fundoshi, these early garments were made with the male genitalia in mind.
Although developed for the male anatomy by primitive peoples, in the modern West thongs are more often worn by females. They first gained mainstream popularity as swimwear in South America, particularly in Brazilin the 1970s. In Brazil, where the buttocks ("bunda" in Brazilian Portuguese slang) are especially admired and emphasized; it was originally a style of swimsuit whose rear area became so narrow that it would disappear between the wearer's ass. Female strippers and erotic dancers in the west have been wearing G-strings and thongs during their routines since the mid-1970s.

-In Latin America and Portugal the G-String is referred as "Hilo Dental" (spanish) or "Fio Dental" (portuguese), which both mean "dental floss".

-In Lithuania the G-string is often called "stringai", or more national name "siaurikės".

-In Italy the G-string is called "perizoma" or "tanga" (in Italian language "tanga" is a micro-panties).

-In Turkey the G-string is called "ipli külot" (ipli means "stringed" and külot means "underpants") or like in Italy, it is also called "tanga".

-In French, German and Dutch, the G-string is usually called "string", a loanword from English.

-In Puerto Rico, a Spanish slang term often used for G-string is gistro, most commonly used by Reggaeton artists to refer to the underwear style. Tangas is also a spanish term used for thong.

-In Argentina and Chile, G-String is widely known as colaless. In those countries, cola means buttocks, thus colaless literally means buttocks-less.

-In the Japanese language and also in Cantonese, the G-string is widely known as T-back, after its shape seen from behind. The sound has been causing some confusion among Japanese speakers with a tea bag, which is also common in today's Japanese dictionaries. The term T-back is also commonly used in the Philippines. However, there are several usages of the term "T-back" in English as well (i.e., Children's literature author E.L. Konigsburg's T-backs, T-shirts, Coat and Suit). In other dialects of the Chinese language, the G-string is commonly called as dingziku (丁字裤) which literally means "t character pants".

-In Czech, Estonian, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Romanian, Spanish, Serbian and Norwegian the G-string is often called "tanga". In Finnish, the plural stringit "strings" is used, as they are pants, not a "pant".

-In Bulgarian, the G-string is referred to as a "prashka", or slingshot.

-In Polish and in Russian the G-string is usually called stringi, which is a pluralized loanword from English (literally: "strings").

-In Australia only the term G-string is used. Thongs are a type of rubber footwear.

-In Romanian, a G-string is called "Aţa în cur" which literally means "string in ass."
