Ask a word

[blacknomi]

Hi,

Everyone knows eyelid;we have upper one and the lower one. Okay, here is my question. I am looking for a word that describes single-folded and double-folded eyelid. Let me draw you a picture to help you understand what I'm saying.

=.= double-folded eyelid

-,- single-folded eyelid


Is there any specific word for that?

Hmmm,

while there may well be a special medical term, I think that it is comonly refered to just the way that you used it: single-fold eyelids and double-fold eyelids.

I googled it and found the expressions single-fold eyelid and double-fold eyelid, as well as single eyelid and double eyelid.

In addition,

The fold created in the double-eyelid surgery procedure is called a supratarsal fold.

In North American English "queer" means, gay, homosexual.

When I live in Canada, I heard nothing about double-eyelid surgery. I never even knew it existed until that is I moved to Japan. I saw a documentary on it a couple of months ago: Teenage girls in Taiwan were having the procedure done! :? It's not something I understand, but if it makes a person feel better about themselves, then there's no harm in it, I guess. That reminds me, have you heard about the tongue slicing going on in South Korea. Agh.

Casiopea, I have seen quite some people having their tongue pierced here at USA.
I don't know how they eat.

What's going on in South Korea (i.e., tongue slicing) is mild in comparison to tongue piercing. :(

Are those pierced tongue guys called punks?
I heared about some South Korean sliced their tongues in order to speak English well, with shorter tongues.
