bulging eyes
Orbs pushing outward
Eyes that protrude noticeably from their sockets, whether as a permanent physical trait, a symptom of medical conditions like hyperthyroidism, or a momentary expression of shock, fear, or intense emotion.
The phrase often describes cartoon-like exaggeration: His eyes were bulging out of his head when he saw the bill.
Also called pop eyes or bug eyes.
