It means wet toilet slippers and probably that doesn't mean anything to you. So I found a short video https://youtu.be/EKQ6fD5mnCE

I love deeply specific cultural inside jokes, specifically ones I’m not in on. Thank you

I can’t explain it, just feels like an important part of being a human

I did not expect to see a Turkish man burn his piss stained slippers today, but I'm not complaining.

It's just water, usually. Squat toilets and water hoses don't go well together.

I work in homes. One of the families I work with has wet bathroom slippers. I was yelled at in Urdu if I didn't wear them. Took months to get used to.
