A condescending way to change the topic of conversation or line of questioning. Predominantly used by politicians when answering tough questions. It subtly puts the onus back on the person asking the question, for not asking the "right" question.
Reporter: Mr. President, it's been established by economists and business leaders alike that the trillion dollar stimulus package you passed has done nothing to create jobs in the private sector. What is your response to this criticism?
President: That's a great question, but look... uh... we really need to focus our efforts on cereal if we're going to truly make a difference for the children.
Reporter/Room: Ah yes, you're so right! That is the real issue. How could we have been so ignorant to ask the question we did...?

A phrase to describe when your partner/spouse is highly annoyed with you and gives you 'The Look.'
After receiving 'The Look' the receiver is usually filled with immense dread at prospects of hearing what he/she did wrong or being subjected to severe punishments.
Punishments may include but not limited to: the couch, 'headaches', and television out the window.
Usage:
'The Look' can usually be used if you discover your significant other has performed tasks up to par or has behaved badly. Most often when you need an excuse for roses, massages, or just a human servant for a week.

Rich: "Jessica gave me 'the look' man yesterday after I stained her favorite shirt."
Paul: "Oh god. What are you going to do?"
Rich: "I don't know man.. roses? Roses!"
Paul: "For you sake I hope you wrap them in diamonds."

That look a woman gives when she wants something either to happen or be done. There can be a happy look and a sad look. Theres the slight smile or the slight frown,and her head cocked a little to the side.
EXAMPLE 1:When Jessica asked for the puppy and i hesitated, she gave me THE LOOK.
EXAMPLE 2: When i forgot to clean the garage, she just stood in the doorway and gave me THE LOOK.
