In "Cinderella", a ridiculous mis-translation from the French. The original story, handed down orally, centered around "Vair" slippers, vair being squirrel fur. But "vair" sounds like "verre", the French word for glass, and so it continued. Fur slippers make perfect sense. But glass??
Cinderella felt sorry for the handsome prince, kneeling before her. She wondered what kind of idiot expected her to take two steps in glass slippers, when the beloved pair she had lost were made of fur. "I mean, glass shoes? Really?"

Mother was glassed in the face by a stranger in the club's bathroom while she was reapplying make-up, she didn't see it coming.
That guy was permanently blinded by a glassing attack in a bar when he was in the bathroom.
