mincers

Kitchen grinding tools

Mincers is British rhyming slang for eyes, from "mince pies." The term appears in Cockney speech and British crime fiction: Get your mincers on this.

A mincer is also a kitchen tool that cuts food into small pieces, or someone who minces—walks with short, affected steps.
