Author	Topic:   Brow vs. smirk
Arch Autenreith	posted 02-07-2001 12:00 PM ET (US)         Just wondering...I had only known the term 'Whaler Brow' for the destinctive bow shape before this forum. Anyone know where 'smirk' came from? I can never figure out how it looks like a smirk.
jimh	posted 02-08-2001 08:48 AM ET (US)             I hadn't heard of the "Whaler brow" before. It has a nice sound to, mainly from the closeness of "bow" and "brow." BROW: n. 1. (Anatomy) the ridge over the eye.... That is a pretty good description of what the bow of a classic Whaler looks like! SMIRK: v.i. 1. To smile in an affected or offensively familiar way.... Maybe not as descriptive of the bow of a Whaler? --jimh
