Young Reddish Blonde Girl Undresses A White Bra And Thongs In The Shower

In some names for the thong, the bareness of the buttocks is noted, as in Spanish colaless (the origin is probably connected to the term topless but in reference to cola (colloquial term for butt in South American Spanish), and in other names the "T"-like shape of the back is highlighted. In the dialects of Chinese language, the T-back is commonly called dingziku (丁字褲/丁字裤) which literally means 丁 character pants (or roughly, T-letter pants). In Korean, it is called 티팬티 (T panty). However, there are several usages of the term T-back in English as well (e.g., Children's literature author E. L. Konigsburg's T-backs, T-shirts, Coat and Suit).
• Thong vs. G-string
The word "G-string" is often used interchangeably with the word "thong". However, the G-string is only one form of the thong. The normal association of the difference between a G-string and a thong is the width of the back section that passes between the wearer's buttocks, the string being more string like and narrower. Like the thong, the G-string is essentially a bottom-covering that covers the pubis and leaves the buttocks bared. The term G-string is generally used when the vertical strap in the rear of a G-string is no wider than a string. In Australia, the term G-string is usually used to refer to any garments in this style, while the term thong usually refers to a kind of rubber sandal.
According to the Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion "The G-string, or thong, a panty front with a half- to one-inch strip of fabric at the back that sits between the buttocks", and Knickers: a Brief History says: "Minor tweaks to the cut earned these skimpy panties different titles-—from the thong, which has a one-inch strip of fabric down AVPL is the underwear the back, to a G-string, which, as the name equivalent of Spanish suggests (hilo dental), is more like a string of fabric akin between the teeth." Striptease: the Untold History of the Girlie Show says: "The thong an undergarment derived from the stripper's G-string", and according to Americanisms: the Illustrated Book of Words Made in the USA a G-string is "a thong panty consisting of a small triangular piece of fabric supported by two elastic straps. Attributed to strippers circa 1936". The Heinemann English Dictionary defines "thong" as "a pair of underpants or swimming costume in a very skimpy style like a G-string". In an article in The Guardian, Chris Alden writes that "the thong wasn't always so popular: in the old days it used to be called the G-string".
