It was called 'Le Monocle' because it was the fashion, at the time, for lesbians to wear a monocle to subtly signal their sexual preferences when more overt displays would have been inadvisable in public.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Monocle
I like that wearing a monocle isn't considered overt then
"Quick! I need to look unsuspicious! Better put on my normie-monocle!"
Addendum: Maybe BI-noculars were too sexually implying.
lmao
"Hey you! Are you a lesbian?"
"N-no." [puts on second monocle]
