Why Are Thongs Called G-Strings?
Why Are Thongs Called G-Strings?
I’ve been wondering about this for a while and finally today I decided I’d get to the bottom of it (pun intended, lol)
First of all, a bit of clarification is in order. A g-string is a thong but a thong is not necessarily a g-string. The g-string is one particular style of thong that covers very little in the front. As for the sides and back, all there is is string, just so that the thing doesn’t fall to the ground. G strings are often referred to as butt floss; although it sounds kind of weird, it’s a pretty accurate description!
As for the real origin of the word g string, it’s obscure to say the least. According to one theory, there was an actual term “geestringi” that was used to refer to the string that held the loincloth of American Indians, and later referred to the narrow loincloth itself, which was then changed to the more english-sounding g-string
Another purported origin for the term is that it stands for groin string, because back then the word groin was considered taboo and wasn’t used in “polite” conversations.
Yet another theory says it’s an abbreviation for “girdle string”. In the 19th century, boys used to wear a “geestring”, from which a single strip of cloth runs between the limbs from front to back.” Back in the day, a girdle pretty much fit the above description.
Finally, some believe that the term was coined as a reference to the fact that the g-string is the lowest, darkest string on a musical instrument like the violin for example. The emphasis on this theory is on the word “low” — low note, low-cut underwear.
Ultimately, it doesn’t matter where the word g string actually originates from. It’s everywhere today and is worn as intimate lingerie as well as swimwear. Even if you don’t feel like you could wear one on the beach, a g-string is a spicy little item of clothing that’s a must for making bedroom activities more “interesting”. You can go the see-through route when you’re feeling naughty, or just slip one on and pretend you’re just wearing it to sleep. The results will speak for themselves…
