A common greeting in Greece is: Που είναι παπούτσια σου; Βρέχει! (In Greeklish: Pou ineh papoutsia sou? Vrehy!)
Now, before you bust this out at your local Greek festival, I should warn you: It does not mean "How are you doing? Good to see you!" but "Where are your shoes? It's raining!"
*sigh* I suppose I should really try wearing shoes. My sandal-wearing ranks right up there with pocket protectors and taped-together glasses. But they are so dang comfy!
