Boy Look vs. Girl Look
Ever since Kathleen heard the phrase "boy look" from my sister over Christmas in Hobart, she has been using it non-stop on me.
"Hey," I'd ask. "Have you seen the wrapping paper/sticky tape/scissors/car keys/mobile phone charger?"
"It should be there. Have you had a boy look or a girl look?"
"Oh yeah, here it is."
"A boy look. Right."
So annoying.
If you've never heard the terms before, they are both evidently dreamt up by a woman. A "boy look" refers to a search for a regular household object that comes up empty. A "girl look" is the subsequent look, usually by the girl, following the pronouncement by the boy, that the object cannot be found, where is it, you must've moved or hidden it. Incredibly enough, the object just somehow happens to be in the same place that the boy was just looking.
Huh.
But of course, the reason why men give up so easily is that they assume the object has been moved or hidden, usually by the woman in their life, in order to make them look bad and terribly short-sighted.
