What the hell? When did they start calling sneakers kicks? Well, apparently as far back as like 2003 or something, because this re-run of Friends is on (the one where Chandler gets the internship and Phoebe learns she mugged Ross when they were kids and Joey pisses on Jeff Goldblum), where Chandler refers to sneakers now (well, then) being called kicks, which I apparently missed the first time I saw the ep several years ago.
I mean, I know in Party in the USA Miley Cyrus refers to "rockin kicks" (or I thought possibly "kix") at the club, but I figured she was referring to a shoe brand, not that it was just another word for sneakers!
Wait, and now an ep of Seinfeld is on, and Bizarro Jerry was Peter on White Collar?! Also, Charice is apparently reprising her role on Glee, so she took some pics on set with the rest of the cast, and she took one of her and Blaine, and tweeted it with the caption, "Filipino Power!" So I looked it up, and apparently Darren Criss is half-flip?! My mind has been thrice blown!

Few people know this, but the song "(Get your kicks on) Route 66" was originally an advertisement for Harris' Shoe Emporium located on Route 66 in Amarillo, TX.
