A person that looks good from a distance, but with a closer look (or via SQUINTING), is revealed to be much less attractive. Often confused with beergoggles, but is not a function of alcohol, only of unsatisfactory distance. First coined by John M. in 1998
I was at a club last night and saw this hottie across the dance floor. But when I was about 10 ft away from her, I saw she was a squinter so I bailed.

Dave: Whilst sipping a beer...."The squinters never come to the pub after work!"
Scott: "That’s because it takes the dickheads nearly 2 hours to drive home!"

Derogatory term; Smoneone in the workplace who isn't capable of performing even the simplest tasks, without constant handholding and direction.
1. I have a shitload of work to do, because those damn squinter's can't do anything right.
2. If that damn squinter doesn't stop playing with his remote control cars, and start doing some work.....

Squinters are anything that tastes so sour that it makes a person squint.
Typically, certain varieties of apples and first crop grapes, and other fruits, are so sour they will make a person squint.
