"Woman eyesing" for womanizing

Womanizers, rakes, Lotharios, Don Juans, Casanovas – they all keep their eyes out for women.

The adventure is similar to that of the comics, but with alot less carnage, drinking and sexual adventures of the woman eyesing Conan that we have grown up knowing.

Tohru was making breakfeast. And Shigure was well being Shigure in his usual world and maybe some woman eyesing.

Re: "Woman eyesing" for womanizing

Another good eggcorn.

Strange word, “womanize.” It has done a 180, hasn’t it? When “womanize” was coined in the sixteenth century it meant to render effeminate, womanish. Now applies to the strategies and actions of an unwomanish man.


Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.

Re: "Woman eyesing" for womanizing

Good eggcorn, and amusing at that. “Womanizer” is one of those words whose usage never seems to make enough sense to me, so “woman eyeser” seems like an appropriate adjustment!
