"TV - a clever contraction derived from the words Terrible Vaudeville. However, it is our latest medium - we call it a medium because nothing's well done." - Goodman Ace

Given the negative associations of most fashion contractions...jeggings anyone?...I'm hesitant to mention the melding of espadrille and sneaker in case it becomes tainted and referred to as the espaker or sneadrille...a definite downgrade to what is, in reality, a very refined little shoe.
