greaser


a menacing or 'dirty' look: That bully gave me a greaser when I passed him this morning.
Contributor's comments: Used in Maryborough, Queensland, by students from Geelong, Victoria.

Contributor's comments: I recently learned this word from a friend who grew up in Epping, Sydney. p.s. none of the 'subect areas' you've got listed really apply to 'greaser'. It's 'human behaviour' I guess, or, 'facial expressions'.

Contributor's comments: I have heard this used a lot, although at school it would always be called a "greasy" as in: "She really gave me a greasy."
