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.

(transitive, intransitive) To stare at (someone or something), especially impertinently, amorously, or covetously.
