Actually, just a poor attempt at some double entendre. We call 'em flip-flops for the slapping noise they make when you walk.

I thought the US designation was 'shower slippers' and the Poms 'flip-flops'.

You must have travelled a bit, Bob?

In Oz we can actually buy 'dress' thongs, ie balck and white.

My dad used to have leather thongs for good, informal wear.

Lends a new meaning to 'strop'

OK, that is easy....

It is not quiet the same as 'beating the meat'

Allow me to assist in our multi-cultural discourse and attempt to explain 'turkey slapping'

Turkey slaps are administered, in a state of friendly camaraderie, by a fella to his female companion. They consist of a light-hearted tap (usually on the cheek) by the male utilising his flaccid genitalia.

I'm not sure if this is a cultural enigma, particular to Oz?

In a recent episode of Big Brother, a contestant administered such TS to a female contestant. He was rusticated immediately, and narrowly escaped prosecution, for bad manners.

We suspect this was because the slap was to the right cheek of the female and everyone knows it should be to the left.

Spent a lot of time in Europe (Brits, Germans, Scandinavia). But . . . never yet been to OZ and it would be the pinnacle of my life's ambitions.

Well, that clears that up. This forum is not only informative but educational as well. (And I've been doing it wrong all these years!:eek: )

Wolf? Once perhaps, but no more. In sheep's clothing? Naaaw, wool makes my skin itch.

I found this looking for something for another thread...

It is a Peter Lik (I think?) or maybe a Steve Parish photo.

I have seen the photo in a gallery & my Grandpa had a shed just like that one. The original photo didn't have the stars & the lightning.
When the one at my Grandpa's was brand new, it was the single men's quarters.
My dad learned how to make whips & other leather work there from the old-timers. (Dad is now 73 & my Grandpa would have been 100 in 3 months time if... )
I mixed molasses & urea to make a stock feed supplement on the back (right) veranda when I was a kid about 13 or 14. I never ever ever got to see what was inside that hut... it was a secret.
