It's mildly amusing
that, in the old days,
people were instructed to say cheese
in front of a camera
rather than leer.

"Leer" as in German for "vacuous"?
No : leer as in "to leer" = "look or gaze in a lascivious or unpleasant way", zu schielen auf Deutsch.

Ah, sorry - I'm a real thicko. Nice translingual pun!
