- (someone) to look like a raccoon
- Contexto
- My macrobiotic counsellor had observed on my first visit that my kidneys were struggling to manage the toxic condition of my body. He said that the very deep, dark circles under my eyes were an indicator that my kidneys were in deep distress. The circles had become so pronounced that I once thought I looked like a raccoon. No amount of makeup would conceal this problem.
