one eyed jack

Profile-view court card

A one-eyed jack is a jack in a standard deck of playing cards shown in profile, displaying only one eye—specifically the jacks of spades and hearts.

In many poker variants, one-eyed jacks serve as wild cards: One-eyed jacks are wild.

The term sometimes extends metaphorically to someone with limited vision or perspective.
