Hi Agnes

This is when you grab someone's underpants and yank them up into their butt cleft, with all the ensuing discomfort for both sexes :-) All types of underwear thus become "thongs".

While I'm at it, fyi, "kecks" is a northern England expression for "trousers". In the US, "pants" are trousers. In the UK "pants" are underwear, except in Liverpool where, like in the US, they are trousers (as well as kecks).

"strides" and "threads" are of the various "hip" words used for them over the decades.
