I'm disappointed in Emotion Eric's portrayal of googly eyes. These aren't googly eyes; they're lovey-dovey eyes or cuntstruck eyes. (Pardon the rude word.) And he spells it "googley" instead of "googly." Silly boy. Everyone knows that "googley" went out in the '20s. So says the OED:

googly, a.

1. Of eyes: large, round, and staring. Hence googly-eyed a.

1901 ‘H. MCHUGH’ Down Line 35 Is id to my face you go behind my back to make googley-googley eyes. 1926 Spectator 21 Aug. 287/2 A golliwog hugging in its hideous embrace a googley-eyed Dutch doll. 1927 Daily Mirror 10 Dec. 16/1 Others with movable googly eyes in a hand-painted face. 1928 Daily Express 20 June 13/6 Strange, googly-eyed goldfish. 1959 I. & P. OPIE Lore & Lang. Schoolch. xiii. 298 No more beetles in my tea Making googly eyes at me.

2. Disposed to love-making, ‘spoony’.

1929 W. DEEPING Roper's Row x. §3. 107 She ascribed Mr. George's googly, amorous interest to fatherliness. 1932 C. WILLIAMS Greater Trumps v. 85 And father would say, ‘Really, Sybil!’ without being googly.

I love the second entry. I think I'm going to start saying that. "Don't be gettin' all googly with me, woman." Yeah.

update: OK, this is totally rude and utterly indefensible, but I just couldn't help myself. I had to use the word. (And why would you make a post about your lack of underwear to a photo community?)
