Storktionary Term of the Day: Extreme Closeup

Apr 5, 2011 | Filed Under: Storktionary | Tags: Word of the Day

Extreme Closeup (n.)

1. The manner in which all children insist on viewing videos and television, despite their parents’ impassioned and medically-proven warning that it will cause their eyes to fall out of their sockets.

2. The ideal viewing range for kids; if their breath produces fog on the screen, then this ideal viewing range has been achieved.

Aww, her curls around her ear!!

And what a nonsense with eyes falling out of their sockets due to too much TV! My Dad used to tell us that your eyes get square shaped from watching too much TV, and yes, we ran to the closest mirror every now and then to check on our eyes…falling out of their socket…smh

  It really is nonsense (and unproven: http://health.msn.com/kids-health/articlepage.aspx?cp-documentid=100151383).
  
  Square eyes: I may have to use that one.
  
  Her curls, and I say this with complete objectivity, are to-die-for.
