- Noun (pl. Perthians) (Less commonly, Perthite)

A native or inhabitant of Perth, Western Australia.

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!
