Actually, it just occurred to me that for an Arab, "shoe bomber" is both accurate and offensive. It can even be used in a verbal form, as in "go suck your shoe bomb": senseless violence and sexual paraphilia wrapped in a culturally appropriate insult! Or, to really pile it on, "I bet you fucked the pig they made your shoe bomb from." Mix in references to family members, prostitution, and Osama bin Laden in tight (pig-)leather chaps, and the possibilities are endless.
I think we all owe a debt to Richard Reid. Who knew?
