Weekly Wikipedia Find: Glasgow smile

This one's just a bit of the old slang.

Joker has one in The Dark Knight. The Black Dahlia had one in real life (in death). It is the Glasgow smile. Alternatively, it is known as the Chelsea grin. It was popular, among gangs, in Glasgow and Chelsea. It's where one cuts the face of their victim, mouth to ears. It ain't pretty.
