Okay, I need to define 'squint-eyed' in a hilarious and informative way first. Let me start by thinking about what 'squint-eyed' means. It usually refers to someone who tends to squint their eyes to see better, maybe because they're trying to see something far away or in difficult light conditions. Hmm, how to make it funny? Maybe play on the idea of squinting being a bit awkward but effective. Like comparing it to animals that can't see clearly up close. Oh, wait, like someone who's into comic books might squint from reading panels. Or maybe someone who wears glasses but still has to squint sometimes. Also, including some visual humor could help. Maybe use metaphors or similes. Then the example sentence needs to be edgy or unsettling. So perhaps using a 'squint-eyed' character in a creepy scenario. Like encountering them in a dark place where their squinted vision is both helpful and sinister. Wait, maybe something like they can see into your thoughts? Or they're missing details that make others act strangely. Need an example that's slightly disturbing but still uses the definition correctly. Wait, let me check if I'm mixing up 'squint-eyed' with myopia. Because people with Myopia squint to see better. So in the definition, I should mention that they squint their eyes to see objects clearly, possibly due to nearsightedness. But maybe not necessarily everyone with Myopia is described as squint-eyed? Or can it apply to anyone who tends to squint even if it's not genetic myopia? Also, making sure the example sentence uses the term appropriately in an unsettling context. Maybe a 'squint-eyed' detective looking through windows at night, missing something crucial but causing unease because they might be stalking or observing secretly. Wait, maybe someone with poor eyesight using squinting as a temporary fix. So their definition could include that it's a habitual way to see better, even if it's not effective long term. And the example could place them in a situation where their squinted vision leads to something creepy happening because they missed important details otherwise visible. Let me brainstorm a draft: Definition could be "A creature or human who regularly engages in the art of eye-squinting, often as a makeshift solution for their blurry vision, akin to ancient warriors sharpening their aim with homemade tricks." Then an example like "The squint-eyed librarian had a peculiar habit of perusing patrons' book choices through their windows, unaware her gaze was dissecting more than just literary preferences." But maybe that's not unsettling enough. Alternatively, the example could involve someone noticing things others don't because they squint, leading to paranoia. Wait, perhaps an edge case: "Squint-eyed Sam claimed Pluto's demotion didn't phase him, yet his squinted stare betrayed a cosmic betrayal." Hmm, not quite. Wait, better if the example shows someone's squinting causing them to do something unsettling. Maybe "Every night, Jerry’s squint-eyed glances through neighbor windows hinted at secrets darker than a moonless midnight; was he plotting or merely peering?" Not perfect, but gets closer to uneasy. Alternatively, use 'squint eyed' in a more active way: "The squint-eyed stranger's penetrating gaze pierced the veil of your privacy, leaving you unnerved by his shadowed intent." There we go. That's both edgy and uses the definition humorously. Definition: A squint-eyed being is someone whose eyes are perpetually engaged in an arch-awkward dance of scrunched-clump squinting—like a pair of perky hedgehogs peeking out at you, always trying (and failing) to see life more clearly. They might squint through library windows for overdue fines or use it as a crutch when texting while driving... all in one eye! Example Sentence: Every night, the squint-eyed librarian’s narrowed gaze sliced through darkness like laser-sharp suspicion, making patrons uneasy: little did they know their card-counters’ squinted scrutiny extended far beyond due dates—right into stolen whispers and clandestine midnight rendezvous. (Whaddaya hear? Apparently, our shelved Sherlock prefers overdue notices over evidence.)
