Named, of course, after the Glasgow Smile, an [[ViolentGlaswegian act of violence]] where you hold someone's mouth open with a knife and cut a smile into the victim's face. Not all characters with a Glasgow Grin have been scarred; some of them were born with it. Generally, characters with Glasgow grins tend to be evil or insane. It's sometimes known as a ChelseaSmile, in reference to the London football team, whose [[FootballHooligans more violent fans]] were reputed to inflict it on people as a FinishingMove.
