cheaters
Drugstore reading glasses
Cheaters are eyeglasses, especially reading glasses—the kind you grab to see fine print.
The term is informal and often affectionate, suggesting glasses that help you cheat your way past failing eyesight: I need my cheaters to read this menu.
Cheaters can also mean people who cheat, though the eyeglass sense dominates in casual American speech.
