 Colleges organized anti-flapper clubs. The male students of Syracuse organized a club to protest, quote, smoking among women, women who wear flopping galoshes, and the intrusion of women into realms heretofore restricted to men. And I was like, flopping galoshes? Who cares if somebody's wearing galoshes? But I looked a little bit into that, and it seems that the etymology of the word flapper was considered by some to be based on these galoshes, but it was fashionable to wear them zipped.
