    Teva claims to have invented the sports sandal - me thinks they ripped off the Viet Cong who made them out of old car tires - I know, I know, fascinating shit.. Charlie Don't Surf indeed

    I think it's from a Hebrew word 'teh-vah', which means nature or land, but I don't know for sure. I always assumed so and called them teh-vahs. Never owned a pair, though.

    I thought it was tev-uh, but all my friends said it was tee-vuh, then I heard a commerical and they said tev-uh. Just goes to show I'm always right and my friends are wrong.
