Why do they call it 'green eyed envy' for jealousy????

My eyes used to be green, now they're grey.

They are jealous of people with blue eyes 😂

Good point!

Green-eyed people should have as much right as anyone else to be jealous, and shouldn’t be discriminated against!

The [i]Green eyed monster[/i] is from Othello. it's an allegory used to explain actions motivated more by jealousy rather than envy.

Maybe it somehow stems from the old saying, "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"?

I don't know, but I've always heard that people with green eyes can't be trusted.

I like my green eyes.Blue is a beautiful eye colour too.

I wonder why green is associated with jealousy?

Green eyes are the superior color

LOL 😂 good point!
