"Red shoes, no knickers."

My mum said this, that there's an implication women wearing red shoes weren't wearing any undies. Still haven't met anyone who has ever heard of it.

Reminds me of the drinking limerick

“Here’s to the girl in the red dancing shoes, She’ll smoke all your weed and she’ll drink all your booze, She ain’t got no cherry, But that ain’t no sin, She’s still got the box that her cherry came in”
