what�s a pejorative way for calling names people who wear glasses ? I have heard of googles - but can you think of other words? When sb teases or jeers someone |

Yes, Mariethe, "four eyes" is the most common (among us old folks). Maybe there are many newer expressions.

To tell someone they wear "coke bottles" is another �put down � - meaning their glasses are so thick they are like the bottom of a coke bottle. |

Jam jar bottoms/speccy 4 eyes. To be honest, it �s years since I heard anything like this. Are kids more accepting/more pc these days? |
