Definition of short-eyes
short-eyes
- Incarcerated convicts/detainees (and perhaps confined patients as well) "read" or examine their hardcore magazines so close to their faces (so as to not reveal their contents) that the inmates appear to be short-sighted. Consequently, the skin/fuck-books are termed "short-eyes." The inmates rationalize (like ostriches) that no one passing by will realize what is being avidly absorbed when the material is held so close to the face/eyes. Confirmed USA state of widespread use: New York.
