Term adopted by fans of CBS-TV's police-procedural drama, THE MENTALIST. Came from a typically offhanded slighting remark by title character Patrick Jane (Simon Baker). Refers to the kind of just-barely-dressy beachcomber-type sandals often worn by Teresa Lisbon, co-star (Robin Tunney).

"My firm is very conservative and frowns slightly on Lisbon Loafers, even in the summer. Actually, policy is kind of hypocritical because no one minds secretaries in them, but nonetheless it's a big turn-off to HR when a women interviews in them. Unfair, no?"

A soft, feminine shoe for men - sometimes available in purple. If you're not the artist formally known as 'Prince' you should never wear purple loafers because you will look a lot like a camp German B-movie villain. A clear symbol of mental breakdown.

One who goes to restauraunts, mainly fast food places, and orders water in place of any other drink to avoid paying higher costs overall. When done right, one can get more food for a price less than a combo on the combo menu by not getting a drink. For example, at Wendy's, you can get a burger and fries and a drink for about $4, but if you Water Loaf than you can get 2 Texas Double Cheeseburgers, a fry and chili with a water for the same price.
Today we went to Taco Bell and Brandon water loafed to get more food for his $5 than Kelley who didn't water loaf and got less for $5. Brandon will get more bang for his buck for being a Water Loafer.
