Drop an eye
I'm not sure where did I hear of this expression, not even sure it does exist! "drop an eye"
But in brain it means something similar to "take a look", though

Am I right, partially right or completely wrong?

Drop an eye
I'm not sure where did I hear of this expression, not even sure it does exist! "drop  an eye"
But in brain it means something similar to "take a look", though

Am I right, partially right or completely wrong?

Answer

I've never heard "drop an eye."  Similar phrases with the meaning "take a look" are "run an eye (over something)" or "cast an eye (over something)"

Answer

I think you're wrong there. I've never heard of "drop an eye" in English.

You can say "Please run your eye over this page", meaning please check this page for errors, or relevance.

You can say "He dropped his gaze" or "he lowered his eyes" meaning he looked down so as not to stare straight ahead (usually at someone).

Hope that helps.

Answer

Answer

Are you thinking of 'drop your eyes'? If someone drops their eyes it means that they look downwards.

Answer

Well, nothing is academic I guess, but a lot of folks are using "drop an eye on" to mean:
Observe or take a look
