library goggles

a phenomenon often observed by students at Oxford University - similar to beer goggles, but produced by prolonged periods in the library and a of lack of social interaction.
This lasts for up to 78 seconds after leaving the library and causes all girls, no matter how ugly, to appear dazzlingly attractive.
"I think that's why I really like Emma. She's always sat opposite me in Wadham library, and I often find myself thinking that I definitely wouldn't mind. It's the library goggles, I'm sure!"

"Oh my chunder. I've got the library goggles again. It's so tragic!"
