A doctor would say you have amblyopia and a polite person would call it lazy eye. removedeyed is a proper English word, but it’s kind of rude when you use it to describe a person and not an object.
As a removedeyed person, it doesn’t bother me. People rarely say anything. Sometimes you can catch people being confused about which eye to look into but it’s brief.
I did have a kid say to me one time, “Wow, your eyes are like, seriously crossed!” I acted surprised and said, “Seriously? Oh my god! Do you think other people notice?” She felt bad about it and said, “No! No! It’s just where I was standing. I doubt anyone ever seen it.” :p
My eyes are nowhere near as bad as biggie’s though because my sweet mother got me surgery when I was 5 years old. I still thank her for it regularly.
That’s understandable, it’s definitely not on the level of like a racial slur or anything. But if my niece or nephew blurted that out about someone I’d want to put a stop to it pretty quickly, you know?
And oh my god, that story about the kid is hilarious and adorable!
Is this the proper English word? removedeyed? removedeyed?

Yea, it comes from the verb form of removed, meaning to tilt, same word used when we removed a gun. So one eye is just tilted.
Most penises are tilted as well, hence the slang removed for penis
No idea if this is how the slang came about but I’ll be confidently telling people this for the rest of my days.

Technically it’s “removed for eyes” or if they have glasses “removed four eyes”
