Summary
My wife and I went to our favorite burrito place the other night. Once outside we noticed some "homies" who were not from the neighborhood. I slipped into my urban soldier mode and started "mean mugging" them. This caused them to walk off because I showed them a certain respect, without any fear. Social and political predators can read body language and attack those unprepared.
My brother used to say, "Don't look at me in that tone of voice." I realize that people from every walk of life have their own style of mean mugging people. The most traditional is the elementary school teacher who constricts her lips into a colorless circle while frowning. This is usually after little Johnny eats a bowlful of paste or glues someone's head to a desk.Some folks are more animated and theatrical in their mean mugging. They take the procedure into the realm of performance art. Skilled users employ the "opening the eyes as large as they can while tilting the head to the side" technique. Multitaskers can mumble gibberish while flailing their arms out to the side. Masters of this technique (males and females usually found in correctional facilities) have the ability to keep one eye open and bulging while keeping the other one in an [Clint Eastwood] squint. You need to run away from people who can do that.See the full content of this document
