Slippers

Originally Asian slang meaning to give face, which is to show respect or deference to someone, often as a way of maintaining or enhancing their reputation and honor. It is an idiom that is particularly important in many Asian cultures, where the concept of “face” – or the reputation and honor of an individual or group – is highly valued.

Used commonly across Asians globally. If you say, "I give you slippers" to someone you are showing them respect and giving them honor that will make them and their Asian ancestors proud.
"I just slipped in front of my friends and family. I feel so lack of slippers."

"You didn't take off your shoes when you came into the house. You are not giving the host slippers."

"You lost me slippers when you got an A- in your test."

"I give you slippers, you give me slippers, we good lah."

"Son why you no doctor? I am losing slippers among relatives."

Glass slipper

I should be using this time to unpack my things. The thing about a speedy removal is that nothing is organised or correctly boxes up, it's just thrown in everywhere that had space. Instead I'm writing, I'd rather clear my head than my space. You know I'm going to be fine. I'll work through, I'll grow some more. It just hurts right now. It's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, be away from you, move out. I can't even really talk about it, not that anyone could understand even if I did. So don't worry, I'm not looking for someone to save me, I'm not looking for someone to replace you, actually, I'm not looking for anyone, I don't even want to be around the people I have to. I don't know what I'm going to do yet but you can bet your sweet sexy ass I'm going to do it with my head held high. I'm no longer in the business of pleasing others, proving points, or seeking revenge. I'm only going to do me, for me, to be proud of me. I know so long as I do that you will be too. I'm going to succeed and I'm going to do it my way. Other than that, the only thing o need in life is for you to be happy and proud of yourself. I'd say call me if you need any help but my phone is destroyed, and you don't need me anyway, you never did. I can see your success, your happiness. I'll leave you alone, watch from afar. Just know I'm so proud of you, and you should be too.
I love you xoxo
I shattered the glass slipper, and then used the sharp edges as weapons to slay the dragon myself. Turns out the dragon is a sweet soul, misunderstood by many, and struggling to express emotions.

Slipper slope

The slow but inevitable slide into buying and wearing crocs
Ally McCartney eventually gave in and took a short yet frantic ride down the slipper slope and bought a pair of Greggs X primark collaborated themed crocs. Now know as Ally McCrocney

sweats and slippers

A usual, daily, regular, stay-at-home condition, disposition, feeling; or the outfit, literally.

May also be a subliminal for staying at home in the same clothes without bathing for a few days.
I’ve been home for a few days; and it’s a good change.
Oh! Really; how has it been?
It’s been good, but nothing eventful; just sweats and slippers.
