White in the Eye
It is said that the devil has no white in his eyes, and hence
the French locution, “Celui qui n`a point de blanc en
l'oeil. ” “Do you see any white in my
eye?” is asked by one who means to insinuate he is no fool or
no knave- that is, he is not like the devil with no white in the
eye.
