Fake News

I still have my Red Ryder Carbine and haven't put my eye out yet.

Shooting your eye out

I have a sad shoot-your-eye-out story. The son of a guy I know shot his eye out with a BB gun and, as though that wasn’t bad enough, he received an insurance settlement which his parents gave to him, which made him rich in the short term, but messed up his ability to know the value of work and money, so really set him back in terms of being an employable adult.

Same old Christmas Story

"No, Ralphie. You'll shoot your eye out."

As Seen in "A Christmas Story"

You'll shoot your eye out, kid.

Like Christmas Story

He'll shoot his eye out!
