No no no Iddy! You’ve got it all wrong!
It’s not ‘get an Eiffel’!
It’s- ‘GET AN EYEFUL’!
Definition: To look at somebody or something for a long time, or to see something visually striking or possibly shocking.
Example: Roger got an eyeful when he opened the bathroom door and saw his Grandmother sitting there. That was an image that was going to haunt him for a very long time.
Origin:
Iddy couldn’t find anything at all about getting an eyeful. When it was first used. Nothing. Where it originated. More nothing.
He’d been hoping for a bit of explanation. After all, with those big old eyes of his, he’s always getting an eye full of something. Just last week, when he was cleaning his apartment, he got some dust in his eye. Problem was, it was still attached to the broom.
