Meaning
To cut one's eyes at someone — a contemptuous gesture of looking a person up and down and then sharply cutting the eyes away in disdain or annoyance. A silent but stinging expression of scorn, disrespect, or 'I have no time for you', the cut-eye speaks as loudly as any words, and to be 'cut-eye' at is to be plainly, wordlessly dismissed. It belongs to the rich Jamaican language of the face and its gestures — the suck-teeth, the screw-face, the skin-up — through which whole quarrels are conducted without a spoken word.
Examples
