Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature / Turkish Literature | | Turkish term or phrase: «gez, göz, arpacık» demek ne siktirir | Greetings,
First of all, apologies for the swearword; however, this is an example sentence from a serious and highly-rated dictionary of idioms.
Here's the full sentence:
Herifler dağ yabanisi arkadaş, ayıdan bir farkları yok … Lâkin atıcı teresler! Tüfengi omuza dayamak, sol gözü kapatıp «gez, göz, arpacık» demek ne siktirir.
It's really the last six words that I can't make head or tail of.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon |

| | They would not miss when they take sight | Explanation:
The last six words as you ask has no meaning. Original excerpt reads "«gez, göz, arpacık» demek ne sektirir", where "sektirmek" means "to miss". This may make this kudoz entry redundant but anyway the meaning can be rounded as above.
