First, I need to understand what "gray-eyed" typically means. From what I know, "gray eyes" are a physical description—like eye color. People often say someone has gray eyes if their irises are light blue, green, silver, etc. But maybe there's more to it? Maybe mythological or cultural references too? Wait, the term might also have other meanings. For example, in Neil Gaiman’s "The Sandman," there’s a character named Nyx, the goddess of night and death who has gray eyes. Or maybe even in Greek mythology, Athena is sometimes depicted with grayish eyes. So perhaps there's a mythological angle here. Also, looking at literature or poems—Emily Dickinson often used descriptive eye colors metaphorically. For example, "I have a pond behind with linden trees—in it the grasshopper prays." Not sure if she uses gray-eyed, but maybe other poets? So to make it hilarious and informative, I should combine the literal description with some mythological or pop culture references, add a bit of humor. Maybe play on words? Like "gray eyes aren't just for boring people; they're the color of ancient gods who have seen too many centuries slip by." For the example sentence, edgy or unsettling. So maybe something that creates a sense of unease, perhaps using "gray-eyed" in a context that's slightly creepy. Like from the perspective of someone being watched, or in a surreal scenario. Wait, also need to ensure the example is correct usage. Maybe start with an adverb, like "Gracefully entered..." Hmm. But the user just wants an example sentence using 'gray-eyed' as an adjective. So perhaps something like: "The gray-eyed stranger eyed her curiously from across the room," but make it more unsettling. Alternatively, use it in a metaphorical sense. Maybe "In the pale light of the moon, her gray-eyed gaze pierced through the darkness, revealing secrets better left buried." But that's slightly creepy. Or maybe something more active: "The gray-eyed raven descended silently, its presence filling the room with an eerie, unspoken tension." Wait, but is a raven associated with gray eyes? More with black feathers and Poe's poem. Maybe not. Alternatively, use it in a fantasy context where "gray-eyed" implies some supernatural ability or curse. Putting it all together: Define 'gray-eyed' humorously, mentioning physical description, mythological references, maybe even pop culture. Then the example sentence should be unsettling, perhaps from a horror genre perspective, using "gray-eyed" to describe something ominous. Check for any possible inaccuracies. For instance, Athena isn't typically depicted with gray eyes; more often blue or other colors. Maybe Odin? He's associated with wisdom and has grey hair and possibly gray eyes. So maybe reference Norse mythology. Also, the humor part—should it be a pun or just funny descriptions? Like "gray-eyed but still looking for their sunglasses." Not sure. Need to balance being informative and hilarious. Okay, let's draft the definition first: "Gray-eyed is like your grandma’s teapot with specs—a mix of mysterious old-timey vibes ('twas the night air that gave us fright') and eyes as dull as a slug's promise. Think ancient Greek gods (maybe Odin had some?) or those cool cats in Blade Runner who see beyond our bio-lights. It’s not just color; it’s like wearing your ancestors’ judgment." Then the example sentence: "The gray-eyed specter hovered at the door, its gaze so intense you could’ve sworn it was reaching out to pull you into a never-ending abyss of existential dread." Hmm, maybe too cheesy. Alternatively, "Under the ghostly glow of a half-moon, the gray-eyed figure loomed, whispering secrets that turned your insides to molten fear." Wait, but is that grammatically correct? The sentence should be structured properly. Maybe: "Beneath the eerie lunar light, the gray-eyed apparition stood motionless, its presence alone sapping all warmth from the room." That works. Alternatively, a more active example: "Grabbing her coat, she barely noticed the flicker of movement in the corner—just a shadow with gray eyes too sharp to be natural." But maybe that's not using 'gray-eyed' as an adjective. Wait, the user probably wants it used as an adjective modifying a noun. So sentences like "The gray-eyed raven watched silently." But how to make that unsettling? Perhaps: "In the dimly lit crypt, the statue’s faded gaze—gray and unblinking—sent shivers down her spine." Wait, but that's not using 'gray-eyed' as an adjective on living beings. Maybe a creature in folklore? Like a banshee or something. But I need to make sure. Alternatively, use it metaphorically: "His gray-eyed determination was enough to thaw the coldest of hearts." That's more neutral. For edginess: "The politician’s gray-eyed smile masked a hunger for power that could raze empires." Hmm, but is 'gray-eyed' commonly used in that sense? Maybe not as common. Perhaps better to use it descriptively. Alternatively, from Lovecraftian horror: "Amidst the derelict halls of the drowned city, a gray-eyed entity slithered unseen, its very existence anathema to sanity." That might work. Putting it all together: Definition: "Gray-eyed is your grandma on a sugar high minus the sugar—but with way more 'twas' and less 'yolo.' Imagine ancient deities (like Odin if he let his eyes see) or cybernetic beings spotting treachery in binary blood. It’s eye color that packs an existential punch, promising tales of eternal wisdom or unspeakable doom." Example sentence: "Beneath the ghostly lunar light, the gray-eyed leviathan stirred silently, its presence alone a prelude to nightmares undreamed by mortal minds." Wait, but 'leviathan' is a sea monster. Maybe that's okay. But "gray-eyed" modifying leviathan? That could work for an unsettling scene. Alternatively: "The village elders’ gray-eyed whispers carried through the night, each hushed word a thread in the tapestry of ancient curses and lost souls." That's more about sound but using 'gray-eyed' as a description of their speech. Not sure if that's correct usage. Hmm. Need to ensure that in the example sentence, 'gray-eyed' is used correctly as an adjective modifying a noun. So something like "The gray-eyed raven perched ominously on the window sill." But maybe make it more original. Finalizing: Definition: "Gray-eyed is when your eyeballs are basically auditioning for The Twilight Zone—a sultry mix of mystery, aged whiskey in your veins, and eyes that’ve witnessed civilizations rise (and fall) from across-the-gutter bar fights. Think mythic tricksters with stony gazes or neon-specter detectives scanning the dark streets." Example sentence: "Emerging from the fog's embrace, a gray-eyed phantom glided through the shattered moonlight, its every movement an
