The word "bleary" is often used to evoke a palpable sense of physical and emotional fatigue, as well as to deepen the atmospheric quality of a scene. Writers employ it to indicate a state of tiredness or disorientation, whether describing the drooping, bloodshot eyes of a disconsolate character [1, 2] or even lending human characteristics to inanimate elements, such as a foggy street where the lamps seem to blink bleary eyes [3, 4]. In some instances, the term underscores the weariness that accompanies a character's turbulent experiences, like the lingering aftereffects of a long, exhausting pursuit or inebriation [5, 6]. Occasionally, its use extends to creating memorable epithets—sometimes even forming part of a nickname—to highlight an individual's disheveled condition or dull mood [7].
