A person that looks good from a distance, but with a closer look (or
via SQUINTING), is revealed to be much less
attractive. Often
confused with beergoggles, but is not a function of alcohol, only of unsatisfactory distance. First coined by John M. in 1998
I was at a club last
night and saw this
hottie across the dance floor. But when I was about 10
ft away from her, I saw she was a squinter so I bailed.
