New Zealand slang for flip-flops. One of the rare differences between New Zealand English and Australian English. Evidently someone tried to market flip-flips as "Japanese sandals" and the name got abbreviated.
The primary other NZ-Australian difference I'm aware of is "duvet" (NZ) for "doona" (Australian). (It's a "comforter" in America.)
