death glares
Looks that kill
Death glares are intense, hostile looks meant to convey anger, disapproval, or contempt.
The phrase emphasizes severity—a glare so fierce it could theoretically kill: She shot death glares at anyone who mentioned her ex.
Often used humorously to describe looks that are angry but ultimately harmless: My cat gave me death glares when I moved him off the couch.
