Four Eyes

You never hear "four eyes" as an insult anymore.

I used it all the time in grade school. That was until a guy named Morgan, who I teased to no end, had a short convo with my teeth. I developed an instant lisp, and guess who was teased for 6 months straight.

"Four eyes" just doesn't carry heft anymore. I blame it on the widespread use of contacts. How can you call someone four eyes when their "glasses" are the same size as their cornea?

"Hey, four corneas, nice contacts."

Nope. Doesn't deliver quite the same punch.
