They were given their name due to their insanely sexy teardrop shape, which matched those of some Playboy chick. One awesome side affect of wearing these goggles was the mismatched number of chicks that wanna bang you. The large lenses are not straight as in eyeglasses but bulge out slightly, creating the most insanely awesome sunglasses style created. Aviators are popular with chicks and dudes because they are just plain great. Law enforcement officers have also made a law that everybody in the world needs to wear these sunglasses because if you don't you're a fag.
