Something I've only seen done properly in real life once. I ran into my ex-stepmother at a library book sale when Eldest Daughter was about 14 months old. I gave the ex-stepmom (someone who was mean to my little 5 year old brother when no one was looking, but who didn't dare try it on 12 year old me, because I would not have stood for it, and I would have told) a big smile and said hello, and introduced myself and my daughter (she hadn't seen me since I was 12, and I was then 28). She gave me the cut direct.
Huh.
I did a double-eyebrow raise (because I've never learned to do just one) and then got the giggles. It was just such a waste of her energy to try to be mean to me like that. I kind of enjoyed it, having read enough cheap literature where such behavior is a staple, and never previously having seen it actually "in the wild". It was my Jonas Quinn moment. First time for a cut direct!
