<br>
<br>  Has anyone else heard "butt floss" for the thong bathing suit? Heard from
<br>  a mid-30s secretary in Marietta on the Ohio R.
<br>
<br>I first heard _butt floss_ in 1994 from a Miami-based political
<br>science professor. I think we've accumulated three or four more
<br>examples since then, most recently from the 1997 book _Buzzwords,_
<br>about L.A.-speak.
