thonging

Weaving leather strips

Thonging is wearing a thong—the minimal swimwear or underwear that leaves the buttocks exposed.

The term often describes the act of appearing in public this way: She was thonging on the beach.

Less commonly, thonging can mean fastening something with a leather thong or strap.
