Nice one. *grin* I wonder if my brother's grandkids will end up saying that word?

'I knew the creator!' I will say, sloshing around my brandy.

'Yes, Auntie Em,' they will say, rolling their eyes...

I shall put claim to having used that word before any of you, seeing that it is a bog standard german word...

And how is it actually used in German? Does it refer to absorption?

Hmm, after that I had to go visit QuickDic (really, could they have thought of a worse name?) and here we go:

glotzen
# to goggle
# to stare

beglotzen
# to gawk at
# to goggle at

glotzend
# eyeballing
# gawking
# goggling
# staring

glotzende Augen [n,pl]
# bulging eyes

Hah. So there we go. Rian has bulgy eyes.
