Short eyes

Old school prison slang for a child molester. Term entered the public lexicon in the late 1970s when Miguel Piñero adapted his play Short Eyes into a movie with the same title that became a cult classic and had a popular soundtrack album performed by Curtis Mayfield, including the hit single Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here. The movie is about a pedophile, or "short eyes", who gets tortured and ultimately killed by his fellow inmates after they find out what he's in jail for.

However, the term is rarely used these days. More common current terms for child molesters in prison are chomo and skinner.

Let's shank short eyes in the showers...

Short-fingered Vulgarian

Generally used to refer to crude aging twitter addicts with poor spelling skills and even worse judgement. Poofy (bad) hair and spray tan are optional, but common ...

That short-fingered Vulgarian is spouting nonsense and lunacy on his Twitter feed *again*. The number of innapropriate tweets is unpresidented...

The Long and the Short

A phrase used at the end of an unbelievably long and boring story to summarize what you have just heard, thereby giving you both the long version and the short version of the story. It is often confused with the phrase to make a long story short, however, the speaker using this phrase has no intention of making the story short.

I want to tell you all about my amazing day, after borrowing your car this morning I went to the supermarket. At the supermarket I bought organic vegetables, but was not able to buy organic tomatoes. After the supermarket, I went to the hardware store ... When I was leaving the football stadium, this black sports car came racing towards me and collided into me head-on. The police were called, but no one was injured. I estimate the damage to your car will cost at least $20,000 to repair. The long and the short, I totaled your car!!
