Air on a G string

I was once invited to a "teabag party" by a friend. Once I had reined in my runaway imagination, I actually sought clarity from my friend as to the exact nature of a "teabag party". He told me that all the ladies present would be wearing "teabags". I was somewhat impressed that anyone would be able to make a garment out of teabags and was subsequently quite disappointed when it turned out that the ladies would actually be wearing 't-backs".

Had he said G-string, this would have avoided much confusion. And had he said Thongs, I would have assumed that beach footwear was toe order of the day.
Language is a funny old thing, especially when it's English

Whilst we are on the subject, I am very heartened to see that many modern emancipated women do actually wear insubstantial underwear, notwithstanding the fact that they do not conform to the "FHM's sexiest 100 woman" body type. I think that any evidence that shows a rejection of the unobtainable standard of modern feminine body shapes is fantastic.
