When did we start calling flip-flops sliders/slides?

Seems a bit rubbish to me, but whatever.

Some smart alec is going to come in here and start going on about how sliders and flip-flops are different things but it won’t be me. I’m with you on this one

They’re not different things. They’re quite literally exactly that same thing. Sliders has replaced flip-flop as a catchall term.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone call a pair of sliders flip flops, or vice versa

Funny you should mention that, because one of my mates kids calls burgers sliders as well.

Dunno, just some very made-up American lingo they’ve picked up off Youtube I guess.

Also nonsense.

Yep, that’s the same thing, mate.

In the same way that a trainer with a velcro fastener is still a trainer.

Burger sliders are defo a thing, just small lads you get on buffets. Calling a regular burger a slider is not on though

Burgers and sliders - also different things. Sliders are pointless.

Assuming you have a maximum food capacity and appreciate variety they’re not pointless.

Both flip up at the front and flop down at the back, same thing.

Just pick one and have it in full size imo.

Variety though, it’s the spice of life
