'Catch Twenty-Shoe'

By Aaron Delays

"I've come up with a phrase which is a Catch Twenty-Shoe. It’s what happens in the summer when you don't wear socks. A 'Catch Twenty-Shoe' will occur when you go round to someone's house in hot weather and you don't want to take your shoes off because your feet smell, but you don't want to leave them on because that's just going to make it worse."

There you have it: a 'Catch Twenty-Shoe'.
