Me and William totally went hotwalling the other night. In the basement. Next to the Ramen Noodles. With a hammer. And a bunt cake.

HONYwashing 

When a politician strategically responds to a Humans of New York post in order to cover up for the bad things they've done. Similar to pinkwashing or whitewashing but instead using HONY (Humans of New York) to achieve a certain end.
Hillary Clinton demonstrated HONYwashing during her run for 2016 presidency when she responds to a HONY about a gay child fearing for his future. Many people praised her reaching comment, effectively erasing her 2004 statement that marriage is between a man and a woman.

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!
