Everyone knows what Beer Goggles are, right? It may have been many many many (in my case) years since the phase was part of your vernacular, but you surely have a brief understanding of what beer goggles are. If not, let me give you the definition from one of my favorite and wildly inappropriate web sites, Urban Dictionary.
Beer Goggles:
1. “Imaginary optical aids through which unattractive people begin to appear attractive after you have drunk too much beer.”
2. “in other words he or she is a 2 at 10 and a 10 at 2”
3. “When you have drunk enough that everything starts too look good.”
There are several other definitions, if you’re interested. But I think you got he gist of it.
Although I picked the cleanest definitions of Beer Goggles, I think it’s important to add that the phrase is most often used when someone is looking to hook up with a member of the opposite sex. For my more mature readers, “hooking up” is like making out with someone you just met at a party or a club or a bar. Here is an example of how Beer Goggles would be appropriately used:
This is awesome—and so true. I definitely get annoyed with my kids when they do the SAME DANG thing for the millionth time each day, but if I had mojito muffs and that little bit of extra patience I could see the humor in them asking for a snack for the millionth time, or asking where their ipod was for the millionth time, or asking where the remote control was for the millionth time…you need to market a mojito maker for this very purpose. I’d buy it!
Yay for Mojito Muffs. I will totally help you fill out the paperwork for the U.S. patent office!! Believe it or not, I quit the wine about 6 weeks ago (SO many calories) and the wine (I mean one) thing I missed were my Mojito Muffs. Except I didn’t know what they were. Can I say I knew you when after you become famous???
Hope you’re enjoying your vay-cay!!
