glaswegian smile

Apparently, an "extension" of the lips created when a face's cheeks are cut from the corners of the mouth to the ear, leaving a scar.

Tommy Flanagan, who played Cicero in "Gladiator" and Morrison in "Braveheart," has had a so-called glaswegian smile ever since being mugged at a pub at which he was employed.
