expression

• For many, especially in the Southern US, it means the person referenced is an ignoramus. That is, if the person had their shoes shined. they could easily be fooled by the shine man who could just as well put shit on their shoes as shoe polish. The ignoramus wouldn't know the difference and happily walk the streets of some Northern US town proudly displaying his newly "shined" shoes.
