In French, we don’t say “thong” to refer to the clothing item, we say “(le) string [(\lə\) \stʁiŋ\]”. But in European French, we also have the word “(la) tong [(\la\) \tɔ̃ɡ\]” that translates to the beach slippers/sandals commonly known as “Flip-flops” and I always found it confusing.

In Czech we don’t say “You’re annoying” or “You’re irritating me”, we say “sereš mě (seresh me)”, which literally means “You’re shitting (on) me” and this is just perfect way to describe the feeling.
