"Eyes on stalks" -> nghĩa là trố mắt lên vì bất ngờ, kinh ngạc. 

Ví dụ
When you are in a cop drama (kịch tính) you have to say this speech about dead bodies and so on like you say this every day of the week, when you run sex parties, you have to walk around without your eyes on stalks going ‘aaaaaah’, so that was a challenge, but I think I did it.

The footage (đoạn băng) focused on the TV screen showing the squirrel before panning around to show Stella’s eyes on stalks as she watched the television in apparent disbelief.

And Hatari’s show, a magnificent C21st stew of New Beat, ramped up, Virgin Prunes aggression, Industrial noise and Attic Greek Tragedy has the crowd’s eyes on stalks.  

I spent several days recently up beyond Inverness, and I’m not trying to suck up to the Scots, but it really is absolutely eyes-on-stalks beautiful. We often talk about breathtaking views, but in the Highlands they literally do that.
