Eye-teeth.

The canine teeth are so called because their fangs extend upwards nearly to the orbits of the eyes.

To draw one’s eye-teeth. To take the conceit out of a person; to fleece one without mercy; to make one suffer loss without seeing the manœuvre by which it was effected.

“I guess these Yanks will get their eye-teeth drawn if they donʹt look sharp.”—W. Hepworth Dixon: New America, vol. i.
