Signification
To look at someone with extreme anger.
Contexte culturel
In Poland, direct eye contact is standard, so a 'stare' is very noticeable. Similar to Poland, the 'evil eye' concept is strong, and intense staring is often seen as aggressive. Staring is generally avoided; this idiom would be considered very extreme and rude. Americans use 'if looks could kill' to express the same sentiment.
Use with caution
