hello
I'm new here. Sorry if my spelling is not always corect, but English is not my motherthong. But I hope, that you all will understand what I want to write. Be free to mark and write the right spelling. This would help me
I live in a tiny town in Switzerland, Uster.
My job. I'm a Labrat, so allot of chemistry, smoke, strange smells and sometimes a boooom

I'll do a proper intro in the new member's thread, but since you asked for corrections, I believe it would be "mother tongue". I'm having difficulties trying to imagine what a motherthong would look like, and which of the two clothing articles may be the child.

LOL, motherthong... Don't worry, Langeneg, you are pretty clear over all.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

Thank you, I thought that mother tongue would be the right word. Or how do you say to somebody what your native language is?

Mother tongue is correct. We were laughing because a thong is this.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

Oh, ahm yes somtimes our mothers wear them too, but that was not what I meant.
But yes I have to chuckle to(hahahahahaha)

Oh in german you call a thong just string. But I'm fond of learnig new words.

Let's confuse the whole issue with the Aussie version...

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, just like grandpa. Not screaming and panicking like his passengers.
Don't drink and drive from The Lancre Tavern

That definitely is a motherthong.

Strangely enough, the French call it a "string" too... Welcome to you langeneg, and thanks for the involuntary chuckle!

Well, actually, 'thong' means basically the same as 'string' in English too, although it would usually imply something made of a slightly tougher material, such as leather.

Thong, according to Dictionary.com.

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.

Well, yeah but it's still funny to see English words misused in other languages. In fact, "thongs" in French are in fact flip-flops, as they apparently are in Aussie if I am to believe the cartoon.
