The Norwegian Stare - An incisive obvious gaze at someone you are acquainted with or a stranger in a common social setting. The gazer is typically unphased by the subject's awkward reception or ensued squirming in reaction to such a gesture. It seems to be related to power dynamics within a group, although the gazer does not acknowledge this as a conscious intention, but instead, as an extended stare, merely resting one's eyes upon someone or something, a type of reprieve from group engagement.
