The "G" in G-string may have originated in the Philippines.
Beyond referring to the string on a violin, the earliest known mention of the G-string comes from Americans in the Philippines in the 1800s, who described the native loincloths as "gee strings."
By 1878, Americans were applying the term to the loincloths worn by American Indians. Since the etymology is not known with certainty, the G could also stand for "groin" or "genitals."
The origins of "thong" are far clearer; the term derives from the Old English word for a flexible piece of leather, a thong.
Las night I slept like a little baby, because I finally found the answer to my eternal question. I finally know what the “G” stands for. Thank you my sensational world wide web.
