The Oakland Stare 

A certain look that an individual learns after living in the rougher parts of Oakland for a long period of time. It is similar to The 1000 yard stare, but instead of complete emotionless distance, The Oakland Stare is 90% "Fuck off" and 10% "if you touch me, you'll regret it."

It is not a badge of honor, however it is something that is earned without realizing it.
"Hey, man, don't mess with that lady." "Why?" "She's got the Oakland stare - she'll mess you up. Go for a tourist or somethin', easier."

The Lester Stare 

That creepy look old people with the pedo stache and the baldness give you. Don't let him molest you.
Hubert, that guy next to the red truck gave you The Lester Stare again.

The Acceptance Stare 

A moment in which you wake up to prepare for school but momentarily stare into space as you sit on the edge of your bed, accepting the fact you have to go to school.
Person: The first day of school I had The Acceptance Stare that very morning.

The Oregon Stare 

A phenomenon that occurs in the state of Oregon. Lifetime residents aren't aware or it. Only those who have spent some time out of state will notice. The citizens of Oregon love to stare. In traffic, at the grocery store, in line at the bank, etc. It's what they do, and when you catch them staring, the won't look away.
They were never taught public manners because the only city in the entire state is Portland. Don't take it as a threat or an insult. It's simply their way of life.
You've heard the saying "a deer in the headlights." More like "an Oregonian in the Wal-Mart."
You ever get that feeling that someone's watching you? Oh right, we're in Oregon.
