Colloquiallism

Anyone ever heard of the expression "a black look"? My mother used it when she was talking about someone looking at you with a mixture of emotions, none of them pleasant, which showed up as a sort of a frowning scowel, only worse, on someone's face.

Hi Anon

Yes, I've heard that expression before. In fact, like Clive, I'd say it's a well-known expression. Look here:
