Boxers use the term "mouse" for a black eye because of the swollen appearance that resembles a small, round rodent. The term likely originated from the way the swelling can create a raised bump, similar to a mouse under the skin. This colorful slang reflects the sport's culture and the frequent injuries fighters endure in the ring. Additionally, the term has become a part of boxing vernacular, illustrating the toughness and camaraderie among fighters.
