The joke is more that "you have amazing eyes" more means "you have beautiful eyes", at least in British English. "you have excellent eyes" would be how I'd comment on someone's eyesight.

And some of us don't even speak or write English as a first language, imagine!

If the op felt I was flirting with them then that's entirely their problem :)

It wasn't the OP who replied

> "you have excellent eyes"

"good eyes" or "well spotted" would be more idiomatic, I think.

Some of that processing attributed to the brain happens in the eyes themselves, so "amazing eyes" still fits :-)

If someone called my brain amazing I'd blush :)
