Alice entered Looking Glass Land through a mirror over the fireplace. There, she met the White Queen.
"I can't believe that!" said Alice.
"Can't you?" the Queen said in a pitying tone. "Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes."
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said: "one can't believe impossible things."
"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.

Get the Looking Glass Landmug. When checking out a chick that’s too fine that you have to take your glasses off when looking at her to do a double take.

Get the Glasses-Offmug. When a person's behind is so big that it sticks out like a shelf. Similar to a bubble butt or apple bottom.

Get the glassmug. Refers to incessantly scrolling on a smartphone, which has a glass screen. Used as a pejorative, with the connotation of doing something ineffectual, unproductive, and/or even harmful to oneself.
Brings up imagery of someone making pictures or writing on frosted glass to pass the time, or someone trying to make a permanent mark on a glass pane with just their fingernail but ends up breaking their own fingernail.
glass-scratcher (noun)
1. someone who spends a lot of time on their phone, usually scrolling through social media, but can playing games, etc., usually to their own detriment (e.g. social seclusion, inability to get out of bed without checking their social media feed, etc.)
2. someone who spends a lot of time trying to gain attention and/or influence on social media, but doesn't make much difference, and their obsession ends up harming them in some way, (e.g. getting into arguments online, fans turning on them, etc.). Can be used as a synonym for 'bluetick' (someone verified on Twitter), 'clicktivist', etc.

I wasted all day scratching glass; I checked Facebook, then Snapchat, then went on Pinterest and just scrolled for hours. I think I have a problem.
Joe Hildebrand is such a glass-scratcher. He spends so much time on Twitter but only has a few followers, and then he comes on Channel 10 and can't hold a proper conversation. Why does he bother trying to be a celebrity when he can't engage in social interaction outside of Twitter?

Get the scratching glassmug. Refers to da humorously-annoying conundrum dat's frequently encountered by folks suffering from C.S.S. (i.e., Can't See S**t"), particularly those who also have poor short-term memory --- they set their glasses down someplace, but then they forget where they laid them, and they cannot see well enough without said corrective lenses to find them again.
Keeping a spare pair of glasses (like simple reading-specs from da dollar store) in a certain place at all times (and then promptly returning them to said location after using them in a "mislaid glasses dilemma" emergency, like a hidden set of house/car keys that you use whenever you've accidentally "locked yourself out") can get you out of the age-old "I need my glasses in order to see well enough to FIND my glasses!" problem... you will always know where in the house that your "rescue" glasses will be, so you can go and temporarily don them for clear vision till you find your "regular" glasses again, and then put the spare set back in their "for emergencies" location.
