To flirt milk
Hello. I am new here, and my English is not as good as I would like it to be. And I have a question.
Dear teachers, can to tell me what does "To flirt sweet milk into someone eyes" mean? Hope you will help me. Thanks in advance.

Re: To flirt milk
It means nothing to me. Where did you read it?

Re: To flirt milk
I read it in a book about Ole Lukoie by Hans Christian Anderson.
I have not found any phrase like that in the internet. Don't know, maybe the scan was wrong.
Thank you for your reply.

It's nonsense to me too.
"To squirt sweet milk" might make sense (as a phrase, not as a thing to do).

***** NOT A TEACHER *****
(1) I googled.
(2) As one of the VIP members said, the correct word is, indeed, squirt.

Thank you all.

Re: To flirt milk
By the way, it should be "into someone's eyes".

Re: To flirt milk
Yes, in the book it is "children's eyes".
Thank you, I will notice.

... and perhaps there's a humorous mixture of that with 'flick'. Or perhaps it's just a badly scanned 'flick'.
