Glass slippers

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?"

In-between slipper

An in-between slipper:
Someone, who constantly slips from one subject matter to another one, not focusing on one in specific; thus "in-between". Also known as someone who likes to takes shifts that are in-between, to help their workmates, metaphorically speaking "slipping" from one shift to another. May also be used in a perverted sense, the interpretation is variable.

Canadian slipper

When you are having sexual intercourse with another person and accidentally, without consent poke them in the bum hole, and exclaim “Oh! Soory, eh!” As you quickly remove your extremity from said bum hole politely.

“I’m sorry about giving you that Canadian slipper last night dear, I was just a little off my groove, and my aim was bad.”
