Virgin eyes are often referred to when an unfortunate soul has just born witness to an
abomination of all that is good and holy. It is often uttered with a sizable amount of emphasis, such as "Oh, my
virgin eyes!", or "My
virgin eyes hath been soiled!". Situations in which it would be appropriate to utter the phrase
include, but are not limited to:
'
Virgin' can also be used in conjunction with
ears, and less commonly,
noses and
tongues.
Of course, people are always talking about how their sensory organs are so
pure and
uncorrupted, but it ought to be a no-brainer: I've not yet met someone whos eyes
aren't virgin (in the most literal sense of the word; let that sink in for a second). If I ever did, though, I doubt anything could more fully express my
shock and
revulsion than exclaiming the catch phrase myself.
