Shutter Shades

Plastic, usually bright-colored sunglasses with horizontal plastic strips where the lenses would be, thus giving the effect of a shutter while defeating the purpose of sunglasses. Shutter shades were debuted by Kanye West.
I was so excited when I bought a pair of shutter shades on sale, until I realized that there was nowhere I could wear them to.

Shutter shades

Usually plastic glasses with horizontal pieces of plastic going across. in place of actual lenses, which totally defeats the purpose of the glasses. They were originally made popular in the 80's, which is contrary to popular belief because of a dipfuck named Kanye West. Now everybody thinks the glasses are his, but in reality, he's an unoriginal fuck.

Shutter Vision

A visual effect caused by drug use or lack of sleep. The world looks as if your eyes are opening and closing extremely fast, but you can't feel any eye movement, and others can't tell you're seeing funny. It is like the opening and closing of a camera shutter on high speed capture. And it can be very disorienting.
"Dude, I roofied myslef and now I got mega shutter vision, the world looks like discovery channel or something."

"Damn, I've been up for days and the world looks like it's a cartoon; crazy-ass shutter vision yo."
