So, am I just going to have to accept it?
that buckle "tongues" are going to be called "tongs" now? :rolleyes:

:soapbox:

I have seen more and more threads with people calling the buckle tongues "tongs", even when they're not talking about the Radian, which started the whole idea of calling them "tongs".

I know, picky, picky, picky... :eek:

My mother's friend insisted that my Mom come inside and see the new "thongs" that she got in Florida. My mother is very private and reluctantly followed her inside feeling very embarassed. She took her in the kitchen and whipped out some T-O-N-G-S. :ROTFLMAO: She actually says a lot of odd things.

Ok, I vote we call them "buckle thongs" from now on.

My really sweet, very Mormon in-laws kept talking about their thongs. Finally realized they were talking about flip-flops!

I just ordered some tongs (I think of them as tongues) from SKJP for my radian.

I second the vote for "buckle thongs!" If we can't agree on tongues or tongs why not just make up something else, right? It could be fun. Poll anyone?

And my grandma is the opposite, she always talks about her summer TONGS when she means THONGS! (and I'm talking flip-flops here, not saying anything about my grandma's choice of underwear!)
