Lisbon Loafers

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?"

purple loafers

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.

Hey, dude! This guy just went full Purple Loafers on us. Call him a doctor.
