{{Look Me In The Cheek}} seems a little confusing, because it refers to the perspective of the audience, and not the characters involved. The characters aren't looking at each other's cheeks. They're not really looking at each other at ALL.

@Chariset: "It's a holdover from theater staging." Bingo. I was a theatre major in college, and the stage-direction shorthand term you'd get from the director when he or she wanted you to open yourself up to greater visibility was, "Cheating out." "I need you to cheat out about 20 degrees." Or, "Could you cheat out little toward house left? I'm losing your reactions." It was pretty universal, and everyone understood it. So, lingo-y and slightly trade-speak obtuse though it may be, "Cheating Out" might work.

Otherwise, if playing off of the positions of the characters in question relative to each other, "Right-Angle Relativity," "90-Degree Noggins," "The 75% Rule," or even going full geek with "The [[http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_a_gibbous_moon Gibbous]] Face" might get there.
