Ugg boot battle over :"After years of controversy over the trademarking of the term ugg boots, the Federal Government has clarified the final details of a settlement finalised earlier this year."
We were wearing our uggies anyway and we were calling them that. Thoongs in summer, uggies in winter...that's how it is hear. We flip and flop in shorts and tank tops in summer and trundle in our uggies, trackies and hoodies in winter. Thongs and uggies. That's it...always was it and always will be it. People determine language. I was reading somewhere about some brand name which was not allowed to be used as a verb...but years ago people were hoovering and then it became vacuuming and then split off in to dustbusting . We now google whether we want to or not. Ah, maybe we are not allowed to google on another search engine but who's going to go googling on hotbot??? We could hoover with any brand. I do think we are getting too sensitive and pedantic. People develop language usage and we wouldn't have googled were it not for people googling and loving it. Same with uggies. Our uggies are a part of our winter. Sheepskin lined boots cum slippers is too much of a mouth full. It's the all purpose outdoors /indoors practicality which appeals to us. Same with thongs. We like one item of footwear that does it all. Why do it complicated when you can keep it simple??
