It's very an**ying losing a pair of flip-flops, or "thongs" if you're Australian. As a matter of fact, the comfy "shoes" are something of a national uniform Down Under.

"Some bugger nicked me pluggers" (https://www.gofundme.com/2kdw86kk) is the name of the GoFundMe campaign organised by Clancy Whalan from Darwin, Australia.*
