pluggers 

Heard first on Gold Coast, Australia. Pluggers are thongs, slip ons, flip flops etc. They are specifically the type of thongs that are a thin sheet of rubber and a "wishbone" shape of rubber protruding from the thin sheet that goes between your toes. This wishbone piece of rubber is held to the thin sheet of rubber by "plugs" that protrude through the thin rubber sheet from top to bottom. You can have single pluggers or double pluggers or maybe more, this number comes from the number of plugs for each wishbone anchoring point on the bottom of the thin sheet.
You better put on your pluggers as the road is very hot.

Plugger Hugger 

One who insistently relies on GPS to navigate from point to point while in the backcountry. A person who refuses to learn basic land navigation skills due to the assumed fact that a GPS can solve all problems for those who are geographically embarrased.

Derived from "PLGR" pronounced "Plugger" - an acronym used in the Army for Precision, Lightweight, GPS, Receiver.
"Put away the GPS you plugger hugger. The campsite is just on the other side of that ridge."
