- To make bedroom eyes to somebody
- Contexto
- Leonard's women have always been remarkably self-possessed, especially when it comes to the duality of their looks and drive. These aren't girls who wield their bodies as weapons — they're not fatales — but people who carry their assets calmly, conscious of their worth. In other words, they're packing it. When Leonard tells us a female character has "bedroom eyes" or a "neat nose", he's merely informing us about her personal stock of attributes, and he'll use hackneyed or commercial words to describe them — the language of the once-over.
