anti-Lavoisier 

(referencing Antoine de Lavoisier the 18th century French chemist and his famous phrase "rien ne se perd, rien ne se cree; tout se transforme):

adj- similar to a neo-Luddite, but instead defines people who don't understand 1) that if the government can't pay your welfare check, the money still has to come from somewhere and 2) how poverty is related to Malthus's theory of food production
all those people who protested Trump and those women who marched on Washington, either they don't know what they are doing, or they are simply, in my mind at least, anti-Lavoisier

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!
