ogle fakes

(Polari) A false eyelash.

A term from Polari, the secret argot historically used by gay men, sex workers, and circus/theater communities in Britain. 'Ogle' in Polari means eye (from Italian 'occhio'), and 'fake' refers to an artificial or theatrical prop, so 'ogle fake' literally means a false eye — i.e., a fake eyelash. Polari thrived in the mid-20th century as a way for marginalized communities to communicate privately, and many of its terms carried theatrical or performative connotations. Largely a historical curiosity today, though Polari enthusiasts still use and document it.

(Polari, usually, in the plural) An eye.

An impertinent, flirtatious, amorous or covetous stare.
