bugeye
Flat-bottomed oyster boat
A bugeye is a type of flat-bottomed sailboat developed in the Chesapeake Bay, characterized by its broad beam and shallow draft for navigating oyster beds.
The term also describes eyes that bulge or protrude prominently, whether from a medical condition, surprise, or intense emotion: He stared bugeyed at the wreckage.
Bugeyed is the more common adjectival form.
