Histioteuthis is a genus of squid, commonly known as the cock-eyed squid, because in all species the right eye is normal-sized, round, blue and sunken; whereas the left eye is at least twice the diameter of the right eye, tubular, yellow-green, faces upward, and bulges out of the head. Sessile animals such as sponges are asymmetrical. Corals build colonies that are not symmetrical, but the individual polyps exhibit radial symmetry. Alpheidae feature asymmetrical claws that lack pincers, the larger of which can grow on either side of the body, and if lost can develop on the opposite arm instead.

PopMatters writer Dave Heaton described Talib Kweli as "a hyper- articulate MC with a revolutionary's mind and a sensitive poet's heart, but he's also a world-class battle MC, able to rip other MCs' rhymes apart in a quick second". Rolling Stone called Train of Thought "the rare socially aware hip-hop record that can get fists pumping in a rowdy nightclub". Pitchfork critic Sam Eccleston wrote of Kweli's boastful lyrics, "Kweli uses the rhythm as a foundation, building rambling, baroque rhyme structures on top of them, exhibiting his cock-eyed 'skills'. This kind of braggadocio doesn't weaken the effort in the same way his moralizing self-canonization does, if only because he can often back those claims up".

Histioteuthis heteropsis (H. heteropsis), also known as the strawberry squid, is a species of small cock-eyed squid. The scientific nomenclature of these squid stems from their set of differently sized eyes, one being small and blue and the other being large and yellow. It is thought that the large eye is used to see objects against dim light, while the smaller eye is more able to view bioluminescent light sources. The squid’s vernacular name arose due to its red pigmentation and the presence of photophores along its body, making it appear like a strawberry with seeds. H. heteropsis live in the ocean’s mesopelagic zone and are found in the California Current and the Humboldt Current.

Beak of Histioteuthis bonnellii Histioteuthis is a genus of squid and the only member of the Histioteuthidae family. It goes by the common name cock-eyed squid, because in all species the right eye is normal-sized, round, blue and sunken; whereas the left eye is at least twice the diameter of the right eye, tubular, yellow-green, faces upward, and bulges out of the head. In 2017, researchers at Duke University established that Histioteuthis uses its larger eye to see ambient sunlight, and its smaller eye to detect bioluminescence from prey animals.Mismatched Eyes Help Squid Survive Ocean’s Twilight Zone, at Duke University; by Kara Manke; published February 13, 2017; retrieved June 25, 2017 The name is composed of the Greek ' (, "sail", a large webbed membrane between six of the arms, in some species) and ' ("squid").

"The Tea Break" section of the album contains comic relief by Sinatra, during which he makes jokes about the drunkenness of Dean Martin and evening parties at his home in Beverly Hills, Sammy Davis, Jr.'s autobiography Yes I Can and the hotel hiring him for "four solid weeks" as a cleaner, and jokes about himself being "so skinny my eyes were single file. Between those two and my belly button my old man thought I was a clarinet". He denounces the news that he'd recently turned fifty years of age as a "dirty Communist lie" "direct from Hanoi" and that he was really 28 and would have been 22 if Joe E. Lewis hadn't "wrecked" him from drinking. He concludes the segment with a summation of his early life and work lifting crates and serving as a rivet catcher from a cock-eyed guy who "couldn't hit a bull in a fanny with a bag of rice", and describing Edward Bowes as a "pompous bum with a bulbous nose" who "used to drink Green River".
