Re: Is "Eye Candy" an insult?
Ummm, disagree. Inappropiate would be passing photos around at work knowing they will be commented on, some positive, some not so positive.
Ok I too do disagree. Depending on where you work and what attorneys are involved in work place violations.
Here is what Wikipedia says about "eye candy"
Eye candy
A common slang term for visually appealing persons or effects used to draw mass attention is eye candy.[2] The implication is that they are eye-catching in a superficial fashion, for example due to adding an element of sexuality. Like actual "candy", this addition is seen to be neither nutritious nor substantial, but rather provides a potentially addictive appeal which will sustain the attention of a wider audience, possibly despite their better nature.
The term may have been originated by interactive videodisc, user interface designers working at INTERAC Corp. in 1983.[citation needed] Their work marked some of the first instances of multiplane visual computing, integrating text, audio, graphics, photographic images, and video into a seamless presentation. The "eye candy" referred to visually appealing images supporting the overall message.
This expression is sometimes used for example to actors/actresses whose visual enjoyment to the audience is perceived as so evident they are alleged as having been cast for this reason, e.g. for their sex appeal. Various novels, articles, and stories have used this slang term to show a physical attraction one person has toward another.
