Crowder | @MaulikV - Indeed, here in the UK, "squint" as a noun almost never means narrowed eyes (though Collins says the verb can; I've never heard anyone use the verb here), it refers to eyes that look different directions. Whereas in the States, it doesn't have that different-directions meaning as a noun. BrE "inward squint" = AmE "cross-eyed", BrE "outward squint" = AmE "wall-eyed". collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/squint | |
