The act of wearing clear, unassuming, reading-style glasses when they are not necessary for sight or fashion, but as a disguise in public situations. The phrase is based on the DC comics superhero Clark Kent/Superman who masks his secret identity with a combination of glasses (e.g. perceived weakness) and the facade of a bumbling personality.
