"Eye Wipes Up" - What Does It Mean?

Phraseologisms firmly entered into our speech today. A sharp word, an exact expression like nothing can emphasize the peculiarity of the situation, convey the strength of the feelings experienced at the time of the speech, the description of the emotions experienced and so on ...

Soap in the foam

Long live the fragrant soap

The eye is being washed up - phraseologism, which has now become very popular. It is used in many modern industries and professions if you want to express that:

  • the ability to perform qualitatively routine processes due to their uniformity has been lost;
  • the reaction to monotonously occurring events and facts has weakened.

What does the soap itself have to do with it? What happens if it gets in your eyes? Is the eye getting wet? It pinches, it becomes painful, instinctively a person closes his eyes or closes it. Ceases to look and see what is in front of the eyes directly.

Or does it mean that in front of open eyes there is some kind of obstacle that limits the field of view ... For example, soap foam. Thick, white, opaque.

Create soap foam

Through her to see nothing. Although it can be a shroud of dust or smoke.

Nothing is visible, incomprehensible

In phraseologism, the “eye has blurred” meaning is akin to the meaning of several other Russian idioms. So that you do not really see, you can smoke in your eyes or dust in your eyes. The result is the same, but the reasons differ radically.

Look under your nose

Smoke or dust is let into the eyes to distract attention from something, to deceive, to embellish. This is when you live in absolute everyday chaos, with all the attributes due to it. Dirty dishes, dust, etc. ... But the perfect order is put in place for the parents to arrive. Smoke in my eyes, and everyone is happy. Nobody gets you. Parents are happy and calm.

The eye is washed away from a long monotonous activity. This is a situation when a person loses the ability to concentrate on small details, on particulars.

The eye is getting wet - what does it mean

Let's try to find examples of cases in everyday life. Many testers discuss the problem on the forums - the eye is getting blurry.

I had the most egregious case when, having tested the Russian version and switched to the English, and digging out a bunch of bugs down to the smallest detail, I suddenly noticed a hefty button in Russian that looked directly at me for several hours. And I might not have noticed, because I’m so used to the Russian version that I took the button for granted. How to deal with the fact that you get tired, get used to the application and start testing like a robot, and not like a living creature?

Eyes are getting used to seeing, and the brain is analyzing any standard system components of the interface, code. Distracted from the details, scattered and defocused attention. This can haunt many people in creative professions: designers, writers, typesetters, programmers ...

It will be rude, but fair, to notice that very often the eye is blurred by the bosses and managers. Having once evaluated a subordinate, many no longer pay attention to him.

The same can be said of some teachers. Many of them find it easier to look with a blinded look at the children, not noticing both the positive and the negative in them. Children are the embodiment of nature, they are constantly changing depending on the conditions in which they are.

How to avoid

The eye is washed up, you cease to notice trifles. This greatly interferes with the quality of their work. It doesn’t matter if it consists in leadership, teaching, computer technology, and more.

We need to look for measures that help to “erode” it. After all, little things manage to bring success to a large enterprise.
