Keep your eyes down
Hello....
In Korean movies, among bullies or gangs...
After some fight or confrontation, the winner, to make sure that someone be submissive, he would say like, “Keep your eyes down!”.
Or maybe “Lower your looks down”.
That is, if someone keeps his eyes down in front of the leader or winner, that someone woud not be fighting back.
Does this kind of expression exist in native English?
Maybe English speaking cultures are not against looking at someone directly in the eyes, so that kind of expression might not exist....
I have never seen this kind of scene in English speaking movies or dramas.
Is there any other way to speak the same notion in English?
