0 Wow, Spectacled-Girl - what 01i 00are02i 00 you reading? This is more 1950's/1960's slang, not in current use. If someone has had too much to drink, you could say they look "glassy-eyed".

00Since this word is more 1950's/1960's slang, if I were to use it in my composition, will it be okay? 0-

0'Glassy eye' would be okay - but very unusual. 'Belt up', 'shut yer gob' and 'shut yer cakehole' wouldn't be.0-
