"Freedom To Breathe Agency"

A fictitious agency primarily found in America created by people who did/do not want to wear medical/face masks during the Corona pandemic.

This was mainly done on a card or by verbalizing the acronym while citing the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) to get into businesses who required wearing masks during the 2020 Corona Virus Pandemic.
Karen - "let me in!!!"

Mortal - "I can not let you in, you need a mask due to company policy"

Karen - "The FTBA says that under the ADA I do not have to wear a mask as I have a disability and do not have to disclose what disability that may be."

Mortal - "Go home Karen, no one likes you."

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
