stank eye
Withering visual disapproval
A stank eye is a look of contempt, disapproval, or hostility—an intensified version of the side-eye or dirty look.
The spelling reflects African American Vernacular English, where *stank* is a pungent variant of *stink*: She gave me the stank eye when I walked in late.
The look communicates displeasure without words.
