A battlefield syndrome in which a soldier may become lost in thought due to stress from the fight. The 1000 Yard Stare is named such because the soldier may seem to be focusing on an object very far away, and may even become unresponsive to external stimuli. The phrase was coined during the Vietnam war.

The 1000 Yard Stare, or the 2000 Yard Stare, was a symptom of battlefield stress and exhaustion. It became named so during World War II, because the victim would become unresponsive and stare "a thousand yards off".
After the invasion of Peleiu, many Marines would fall victim to the 1000 Yard Stare after numerous days of endless combat.

The gaze used in the LOR trilogy to denote a solemn moment, because we couldn't tell from the very subtle soundtrack.
Stephen fixed his Lord of the Rings stare on Justine, as if to tell her he wasn't joking. She never told him that this idiotic maneuver was the reason she broke up with him.

The mille cock stare is an expression used to describe a woman who has a certain look that reflects her sexual past and the high number of sexual relationships she has had with men. It's usually a tired look in the eyes, the fatigue certainly coming from the number of cocks they've seen in their lifetime.
Alex : "Her soul looks taken. Why are is the 1000 cock stare so sexy?"
Benjamin : "It's not. That look of total despair is unattractive. A woman with soul in her eyes is automatically 3 points more attractive."
