pocket protectors
Pen leak barriers
Pocket protectors are plastic sleeves inserted into shirt pockets to prevent pens from leaking onto fabric.
They became stereotypically associated with engineers, scientists, and nerds—people more concerned with function than fashion.
The image is so entrenched that pocket protector serves as shorthand for uncool technical types: He's a pocket-protector kind of guy.
