The OG cooler ranch bags were, ironically, absolute FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
We unironically need to return to 80's brand design. Nothing else. Just the squiggly lines.
Is this the proper English word? Cockeyed? COCKeyed?
Yea, it comes from the verb form of cock, meaning to tilt, same word used when we cock a gun. So one eye is just tilted.
Most penises are tilted as well, hence the slang cock for penis
No idea if this is how the slang came about but I'll be confidently telling people this for the rest of my days.
A doctor would say you have amblyopia and a polite person would call it lazy eye. Cockeyed is a proper English word, but it’s kind of rude when you use it to describe a person and not an object.
As a cockeyed person, it doesn’t bother me. People rarely say anything. Sometimes you can catch people being confused about which eye to look into but it’s brief.
I did have a kid say to me one time, “Wow, your eyes are like, seriously crossed!” I acted surprised and said, “Seriously? Oh my god! Do you think other people notice?” She felt bad about it and said, “No! No! It’s just where I was standing. I doubt anyone ever seen it.” :p
My eyes are nowhere near as bad as biggie’s though because my sweet mother got me surgery when I was 5 years old. I still thank her for it regularly.
That’s understandable, it’s definitely not on the level of like a racial slur or anything. But if my niece or nephew blurted that out about someone I’d want to put a stop to it pretty quickly, you know?
And oh my god, that story about the kid is hilarious and adorable!
Technically it’s “cock for eyes” or if they have glasses “cock four eyes”
Holy fuck he was such a chonk.
I wonder why they called him biggie
Personality I bet
I knew he was big. But god damn. He is the mixing desk! Can't have been healthy.
Yet I don’t think it was his weight that killed him in the end
What makes you think that??
He was like 19 in this photo, too.
