    Probably lots of my household words while growing up were British (for example thong, foot beachwear vs underwear)

    That’s Aussie, thong means the underwear in Britain

      Huh neat, cause we always called them thongs growing up and grandparents were not from there as far as I knew. I thought that was a US thing (for underwear), and thong was a more British and Aussie thing. Good to know if I travel to either of those places. Half of the comment was from an Aussie comedian which I thought was closer to British terms. Perhaps I just found an outlier or I am completely incorrect in my thinking, both possible heh.
