sabotage is one of my favorite words because it comes from pissed off workers throwing their sabots into the gears of machines to break them and secure better working conditions. how fucking badass do you have to be to have your protest against the deadly machines of industry coin an entirely new term that means ‘destroy it with your shoes’.
Unfortunately, the etymology of “sabotage” does not support the throwing-of-shoes idea:

It does look like there is a link between the act of sabotage and the similarly named shoes, but that it is the clunky nature of the shoes that is lent to the act of destruction. Namely, that one would have to walk slowly in heavy wooden shoes or risk tripping/falling and causing a scene; if one were to work in this way, they would either work extremely slowly or intentionally cause problems. In either case, they would definitely cause an issue for the business in question.
