Public Feetgreet
A ‘public feetgreet’is a disparaging nickname for a public footservant whose job it is to kiss-greet the feet of the general public as they enter or leave a public building – such as a public house.
Here we see one such lowly creature at the entrance to a busy pub, kiss-greeting the bare big toe of a middle-aged pub patroness under the watchful eye of her elderly husband. Note how the slave respectfully ensures that his upper lip embraces her painted big toe nail whilst his lower lip simultaneously encompasses her big toe skin. This is not the lascivious kiss of a lowly lover, but rather the respectful, professional footkiss of a feet-lackey slave. Nevertheless, one senses that the middle-aged lady is deriving some degree of womanly pleasure and gratification from his lowly act!
Meanwhile two younger women are enjoying a cigarette at the entrance to the pub. I’ll wager the slave's feet-lackey lips have already tasted their sneaker and ballet-flat toes respectively, and will doubtless do so again when they re-enter the pub. Ha! Ha! Then he will have an eyeful of anklesock to admire, rather than the varicose veins he is compelled to look upon now!
