For some reason, I can abstact that article on cut eye by way of google, but not through the hyperlink. I'm sorry about that.

Here's the name of the page:
"ED119515 - "Cut-Eye" and "Suck-Teeth": African Words and Gestures in New World Guise".

There also was this notation:
"To appear in Journal of American Folklore, Jul-Sep 1976"...
