[Idiom] To flirt milk

[Olexandr]

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.

It means nothing to me. Where did you read it?

 

[Olexandr]

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. :up:

By the way, it should be "into someone's eyes".

 

[Olexandr]

Yes, in the book it is "children's eyes".
Thank you, I will notice.

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

And what does "to flick into someone's eyes" mean?
P.s. This forum is great. So many replies for my question.:-D

You could flick something into someone's eyes, not flick into someone's eyes.

 

[Olexandr]

I understand.
