<br>To thongs, zoris, and flip-flops add "go-aheads," so called, as I
<br>remember, because "ahead" was a much better direction to go in the things
<br>than "behind." At least that was the explanation I received when I
<br>questioned the word upon first hearing it. All these but zoris were
<br>current in rural northern Illinois in the late 50s.
