<br>Subject: Fruit boots (was thongs/zoris)
<br>
<br>When I was a grad student in Fayetteville, Ark.,  about 1960-61, we
<br>referred to certain kinds of footware as "fruit boots." I have not heard
<br>that for many years. I picked the term up from a gay man from Columbus,
<br>Mo. Is the term still around? Was it widespread?
