"He did a double take and his eyes bugged out."
I wonder what this 'do a double take' means.
Thank you. |

| As I understand this, "take" means "view" in this expression. "To do a double take" is to look at something, then look away, and then look again because you don't believe or are very surprised by what you see. |
