Wikidata

  1. Glasgow smile

    A Glasgow smile, called by people in Scotland a Glesga smile, is a wound caused by making small cuts on the corners of a victim's mouth, then beating or stabbing them until the muscles in their face contract, causing the cuts to extend up their cheeks to their ears. This leaves a scar in the shape of a smile, hence the name. This form of torture, usually performed with a utility knife or a piece of broken glass, leaves a scar which causes the victim to appear to be smiling broadly, and commonly leads to death by exsanguination if left untreated. The practice is said to have originated in Glasgow, Scotland, but became popular with English street gangs.
