Athy Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 It just seems an odd expression,as eyes have balls (hence "eyeballs") anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised how difficult this is. The only reference I can find is in the previous linked UD definition of BOTE. However, I have a vivid enough imagination. BTW, bote is one of the Spanish words for............... boat. It also means a storage box, which some of course are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
