squinters

Eyes half-shut lookers

Squinters is the plural of squinter—a person who squints, narrowing the eyes to see more clearly or against bright light.

The word appears occasionally as informal or humorous characterization: The squinters in the back row needed glasses.

In Australian slang, squinters can refer to the early morning hours, when one squints against the rising sun.
