They give good stank eye. It's almost like a super power, but often worse. Korean mom stank eye can bring anyone to their knees. The stank eye is usually paired with a sharp intake of breath that ends in a sharp 'tsk!". It is not only a mark of disapproval, it is the kiss of death.

This is so true! My husband (Chinese) told me the other day that I too have this look! Ah~
LOL!!!
yes my mom always rolls her eyes a lot and give me the look LOL
OMG, korean mil's stink eye is the worst! It was so bad, my poor sil (who is korean) cried her eyes out after meeting my mil for the first time. She said she had never met anyone so mean looking before she met our mil.
While she never made the comparison, my gf believes that the only person who could give a more intense stank eye (or as I like to think of it - The 1,000 Yard Stare) than my mother is the little midget she learned martial arts from in Chelsea. Then again, he was both physically and emotionally stunted (as well as Japanese), so I guess he was screwed up. Oh yeah - he learned from a Korean in Japan who took a Japanese name. Fun, eh?
Stank eye + looking at you up and down eye = peeing in your pants with fear.

The key to overcoming your opponent when fear is being used as a weapon is to imagine them as helpless creatures. If it worked for Bobby Bouchet, (and DON'T pretend that you don't like The Waterboy), it can work for you.
To overcome the power of the maternal stank eye, picture your mom picking her nose in church, or picture her trying to let out a ninja fart (silent but deadly) but a loud, cheek-rippling, ass trumpet blast comes out. She ain't so tough now, eh?
OMG! That is the best picture of stank eye I've EVER seen! Awesome find!!
Always counter the stink eye with something really cute and stupid... that'll melt her!
Love always,
