smackronyms 

annoying 3 letter abbreviations (aka, acronyms) that idiots sprinkle throughout conversation, email, and general communication to make themselves appear smarter/hipper than they really are.

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!
