  1. stink eye

    Cut-eye is a visual gesture using one's eyes and face to communicate displeasure or disapproval, and in some case hostility. The gesture is usually performed by looking at someone out of the corners of one's eyes, then turning the eyes away quickly down towards the foot opposite the eye of the person the gesture is being performed at. The main focus of this gesture is the "cut" of the eyes, and can be performed by moving them in one direction or several sharp up and down movements, meant to convey a feeling of anger or disapproval. This gesture has evolved into popular culture and has taken on new monikers while remaining similar to the original African gesture. The cut-eye gesture now is also identified with: stink-eye, evil-look, eye-roll, or death stare. The gesture also is similar in nature to the evil-eye gesture of the Christian and Islamic theologies.
