A Glasgow smile (also known as a Chelsea smile, or a Glasgow, Chelsea, or Cheshire grin) is a wound caused by making a cut from the corners of a victim's mouth up to the ears, leaving a scar in the shape of a smile.[2][3][4]
The act is usually performed with a utility knife or a piece of broken glass,[5] leaving a scar which causes the victim to appear to be smiling broadly.
The practice is said to have originated in Glasgow, Scotland[6] but became popular with English street gangs (especially among the Chelsea Headhunters,[7] a London-based hooligan firm, among whom it is known as a "Chelsea grin" or "Chelsea smile").
