A battlefield syndrome in which a soldier may become lost in thought due to stress from the fight. The 1000 Yard Stare is named such because the soldier may seem to be focusing on an object very far away, and may even become unresponsive to external stimuli. The phrase was coined during the Vietnam war.
Many soldiers are stuck in the 1000 Yard Stare after combat stress.

When two people who like eachother are both online, both wanting to talk to eachother, but both too scared to IM eachother, thus resulting in a race to see who will swallow their pride first.
person 1: "man i was online for 2 1/2 hours waiting for Florence to IM me, but she didn't."
person 2: "well did you IM her?"
person 1: "naw... i just gave her the online death stare"
person 2: "nice, that'll get you laid for sure.."

The 1000 Yard Stare, or the 2000 Yard Stare, was a symptom of battlefield stress and exhaustion. It became named so during World War II, because the victim would become unresponsive and stare "a thousand yards off".
After the invasion of Peleiu, many Marines would fall victim to the 1000 Yard Stare after numerous days of endless combat.

The often intimidating gaze of undivided lust issued by a gay man towards his prey. Characteristics include upright posture, an inflated chest, a forward-titled head, upward gaze and nothing less than a Mona Lisa smile.
The Christmas party was fantastic with the exception that once the company wet-eyes got a few drinks in them they lined up and gave me ten minutes of the Care Bear Stare.

The gaze used in the LOR trilogy to denote a solemn moment, because we couldn't tell from the very subtle soundtrack.
Stephen fixed his Lord of the Rings stare on Justine, as if to tell her he wasn't joking. She never told him that this idiotic maneuver was the reason she broke up with him.

When you are driving through Upper Darby and someone is walking on the sidewalk. They stare your car down because you are driving and they are not.
You are driving, they are staring in anger at you for no reason.
"He gave me the Upper Darby Stare"

Roblox derivative of the 1000-yard stare. Term is often used when something traumatizing comes to pass in an online game, leading to a shell-shock like effect on the player.
Can occur after situations when people you connect with, or have been talking to suddenly rage-quit or disconnect that aren't added to your friends list, (Mostly after death in-game) making it seem as though that player has 'died' in a sense.
The unit of measurement is interchangeable from game to game, such as chunks and/or blocks in Minecraft, Hammer Units, (HU) in source engine games, and the list goes on.
Albert's been stuck in the 1000-stud stare after KingRapDeezy rage-quitted on him after getting shit on.
