'thongs or thongs?'

We all use different types of language every day to express ourselves May it be formal, informal. slang or in some cases our own language that only selected people understand

Each culture has uses and interrupts language in their own way, may it be as simple as Australians we know that ‘thongs’ are an item that we as Australians where on our feet, where ‘thongs’ in other countries all over the world can be interrupted as an item of underwear, and ‘thongs’, as in the footwear are known as ‘flip-flops’ this can be seen as a case where if you were talking and just saying thongs in your conversation could be very easily miss-interrupted or even taken inappropriately .

Wierzbicka’s reading, discusses the word "bloody", and how it is casually thrown around in everyday Australian slang and how we know the way in which this term in meant but to other who are not familiar with Australian culture could easily take it very wrong.  This was seen in the last few years n where there was a tourist ad campaign put forward to attract people to Australia with an ad showing Lara Bingle an autralian standing  on a beach with the line’ where the bloody hell are you’. This ad was not released all over the world to attract tourism to Australia as it was felt that the term bloody, depicted the wrong image and opionion of Australian’s.

Each culture has their own language and there is a fine line is some cases for the meaning to be depicted wrong
