After listening to Josh Harris' sermon entitled Courtship Schmoutship (click here for website link) and going to some of the Finding Love that Lasts seminar held by the church last Saturday I have had many thoughts and wonderful new revelations about the concept of courting and of the beauty of singleness.
However, while I was doing some random surfing on the deep well of waffle and some good stuff (eg. blogs) called the world wide web, I found this GREAT pic of something that is arbly (and yet so aptly) named a 'court shoe'.
I hosed myself when i saw it because my mind immediately started running in the 'court' as in 'courtship' direction. And since my (usually) trusty OED (Oxford English Dictionary Online) failed to provide me with a satisfactory reason for the naming of these types of shoes as 'court shoes', I have decided to make up my own meaning which is that they are ideal for any woman who is involved in a courting relationship.. here are my reasons why:
1. They are pretty and feminine and special, which should be a magnified feeling for women in this season of their life. (I say magnified because women should feel special and cherished all the time and regardless of their romantic circumstance, but will probably feel it to an augmented degree when courting)
2. They keep her feet on the ground, but because of the heel, she still gets to float in the clouds :)
3. They are pink (ok, so this isn't really a reason, but part of the reason I like them is because they are pink!)
4. They have sharp points at the front because a short sharp jab under the table has occasionally been found to be helpful in enhancing a man's social etiquette and tact.
Just to mention (in case you didn't already figure this out) all above comments regarding shoes were made in complete jest and leave much to be desired and corrected (bring on trip an d-ship! hehe) but it was a totally thrivable experience for me to write such nonsense! :D
To conclude with some more wise and amusing biped humour from Jack Handey...
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”

court shoes: a low-cut shoe for women, without any laces or straps (Collins Concise Dictionary 1995: 302).
love you darl.
"low-cut" isn't that something women should avoid in an effort to not make a brother stumble?
NiCeLy DoNe! ;) i enjoy hugely! and now i desperately want a pair to call my own... i would be honored to have such HOTT shoes hurt my feet! hehe.
monsieur anonymous: i highly doubt that collins concise dictionary cares tuppance for the stumbling of our brothers :)
Gee berry I am happy about this..I gotta get that other Josh Harris (JH) (whoa thats my initials) sermon too. is the second one as good as the second one.?
I always thought that court shoes were for women prosecuters or something... the sort of thing Ally Macbeal would wear. I like your explanation much more :)
