Dead in the eye (expression) - the centre of the eye / when saying something serious "I looked her dead in the eye and told her  the truth" A dump (slang) - a poo "I'm just going for a dump" To peer - to look at something which is only just visible "I peered over the wall to see what was going on" I swear (expression) - to emphasise you are telling the truth in a story "It was the best match I've ever seen, I swear!"
