hard eye
1) To give someone the
hard eye is to look at them with disapproval/disdain/dislike. You give someone the hard eye when you don't know them-
you just know you don't like them. Like when someone won't stop swearing when you've got small children with you. That
merits a serving of hard eye.2) To appraise something critically. One assumes that aspiring models are given the hard eye when they apply to an agency. It's when you look for things to dislike rather than things to like.
