Yeah , we call flipflops ' thongs '. We also call the US ' thongs ' thongs , too , speedo being a brand and usually referring to togs or swimmers , if you like , rather than underwear but they ' re tragically less common , so in context there ' s rarely any confusion . <| sep |> No , its dark and when there are a ton of people around its hard to actually see whats going on . If it were obvious someone was in distress its very likely people would step in . Trust me , people aren ' t afraid of confrontations , especially after alcohol is involved . Take it from someone who ' s worked in bars and bounced for a time . <| sep |> Bogut out here posting hot takes on facebook just like my 50 year old aunt with cats <| sep |> I approve this ~
