eye-poking

The act of jabbing or piercing the eye ball with a pointed instrument such as a pencil or the index finger. Eye-poking is similar to eye-gauging except that eye-gauging generally employs the thumb and is used in self-defense.

An eye for an eye discourages eye-poking. ~ ..phiLip..

Crocodile Smile

A fake smile, or insincere approval. This smile is given with deception or sarcasm in mind instead of true happiness or good-will.

A sly or sinister smirk. While a real smile conveys warmth, this smile is given to hide evil intent. Popular with politicians, crooks, and phony friends.

Similar to "Crocodile Tears", exaggerated sorrow or fake tears, a crocodile smile is usually given by someone with an ulterior motive.

Although he was blissfully employed, Barry borrowed $500 from his friend Joe and slipped him a "Crocodile Smile".

Joe: So, you need a loan to fix your car?
Barry: Yeah, things are rough.
Joe: What's with the "Crocodile Smile"? Is there something you're not telling me Barry?
Barry: Ugh.
