Googlin' shoes are what one wears (figuratively speaking) while obtaining a significant amount of information from internet search engines.
Mark: Hey, you're going to that big party at Kelly's Saturday night, aren't you?
Adam: Wish I was, amigo, but no can do. I got a boatload of online research to do for that paper that's due a week from Monday.
Mark: Oh, bummer...well, looks like you better dust off those googlin' shoes.

(noun / expression)
Pronounced: sir-MAA-yet ah-med al-shar-ʿ
Meaning: A sarcastic or blind expression of loyalty to Ahmad al-Sharʿ, often used unironically by his hardcore supporters, or mockingly by his critics.
Origin:
After the fall of the Assad regime in Syria, a new figure named Ahmad al-Sharʿ rose to power—formerly a jihadist turned politician, leading the HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham). While he presented himself as a reformer, actual change on the ground was minimal. Despite this, many Sunni Syrians, who form the country’s majority, gave him unwavering support, similar to the cult-like loyalty previously shown to Assad.
These supporters began replying to criticism online with phrases like:
"Ṣirmāyat Ahmad al-Sharʿ is worth more than your head"
"His slipper is above your head"
These are Arabic idioms that basically say: "How dare you criticize the man who saved us?"
Eventually, they shortened it to just: "Ṣirmāyat Ahmad al-Sharʿ", making the man’s shoe a symbol of unquestioned devotion.
