stink eye?

Hello





Just have to ask...what is stink eye??





L



stink eye?


Stink eye is a nasty look that says ';who the h*** are you and what are you doing here?';.



stink eye?


Seriously?





I thought it was slang for a tropical infection. I guess we%26#39;re the infection.

Stink eye: the look I get from my better-half as I make trip #3 to the Luau Buffet.




You need to get a copy of ';Da Kine Dictionary'; , compiled and edited by Da Pidgin Guerrilla, Lee Tonouchi. It defines Stink Eye: ';For give one mean glare.'; Illustration: ';My husband always give me stink eye when I come home wit one new Coach bag.';





Reading through this book is like a trip to Hawaii. You can get it at Costco in Hawaii. Publisher is BessPress -- http://www.besspress.com





The dictionary says ';shaka'; has been traced back to a 1920 McKinley HS newspaper announcing a dance where they were going to get ';one shaka band';.




stink eye = dirty look





not much of a stretch from our terminology here in the mainland south...
