safety squint

the squint made when operating power tools without eye protection. Done when you don't want to look like a nancy for wearing goggles.

Those safety glasses make me look gay, so I just used the safety squint.

Safety squints

When you are doing something potentially hazardous to your vision, and instead of grabbing safety glasses, you squint.

OSHA inspector: STOP WORKING NOW!!!!

Diligent employee: I’m just grinding this metal? What’s the problem?!?!
OSHA inspector: you need eye protection
Diligent employee: (engages safety squints)
OSHA inspector: thank you for being a model employee
