An eyesore is something so ugly that it bothers you to look at it — most often a building, a sign, or a pile of junk standing among things that are nicer. A cheap bright block next to old quiet houses can be an eyesore. People say it when they are upset about how a street looks. You will hear it in conversation and in newspapers. Though actually, it is not a sore on your eye, and it is not a medical word. The sore is the ugly thing itself, as if looking at it stings. A rusty car or a mess of wires can be an eyesore too; buildings are just the example people reach for first.
