Iowa Eyes

Also Iowa Lamps or Greenhorns. The way rural newcomers and persons from the provinces stare for prolonged periods of time at urban dwellers, usually with a disbelieving, gawky incredulity. The gaze predictably derives not only from the usual unfamiliarity with the pace, rhythms and protocols of city life, but also an unmistakable unlettered and unsophisticated countenance and temperament.

Sari and I tend to avoid certain urban attractions moreso in the summer than other times of the year. Places like the arcade, central fountain and the boardwalk are simply not pleasurable with all those largely rural, out-of-town tourists out and about. They tend to stare at the locals with those Iowa Eyes or Lamps as if we were circus freaks or zoo animals.

pitch eye

To keep a keen eye on, to watch very closely.

You better keep a pitch eye on him. He's inching toward the door.

Dog Eyeing

The act of staring down a potential mate as if you were establishing yourself as the alpha to a k9 companion. Success in the act comes from perseverance... being the last to look away. If he or she looks away and looks back with a smile, go in and close the deal. If the target looks back strangely, consider smiling more next time.

I knew that girl wanted me to come over and share her lollipop because I was dog eyeing her and she smiled.

In one eye and out the other

When someone shows you how to do something and you pay no attention whatsoever and therefore cannot do the thing they showed you to do

I know I just watched you put that windshield wiper on the car… but it just went in one eye and out the other

A Mercury And Pluto link on your birthday means there is a specific path you must follow over the coming year. The nature of that path will be made clear to you over the next few days, so keep your eyes and ears open and be ready to move fast.
