Lead paint stare

a term to describe an out of touch/delusional/stupid elderly person, that acts weird. "lead paint stare" is something some old people have, making them look like they're not really there, said to be an effect of lead poisoning.
why its used to describe old people is because someone near the age of your grandmother, most likely had their walls painted with paint, which contains lead, hence the lead poisoning.

shorter version: old fella has wall paint with lead, and it makes him act and look weird.

guy 1: that old person looks weird af
guy 2: yeah old person got that lead paint stare.

Lead Paint Stare

A rude or empty stare from an old person (who probably sniffed lead paint growing up).

I was working at applebees when I asked an old guy if he liked the food. Then he hit me with that lead paint stare.
