If someone leaves a shoe in a section of the stockroom where it doesn’t belong, it’s called a “ditch.” A ditch means that the shoe in question could not have been found, if it was needed, by anybody else, because it was not in the place where it was supposed to be, and the only reason that it wasn’t in the right spot was because somebody was too lazy to find the spot where it belonged, and just put it any old place.
A ditch in my area caused me rage today, and so I shouted out, “Ditches get stitches!”
There were a bunch of people within earshot who heard this, I’m sure, but none of them laughed.
