This means SOMETHING. I'm not sure what.

I overheard an odd conversation today.

I was at the local sushi place for lunch, and I heard some people conversing in English somewhere in the room. I generally ignore when this happens, because it's kind of creepy to go up to some strangers in a restaurant just because they're speaking your language.

Anyway, as I got up to the register to pay, I suddenly heard them again, loud and clear:
"Of COURSE he's Japanese. Didn't you see his face?"

Curious, I turned around.

They were looking at ME.

Rather than say anything, I gave them the ol' Spock Eyebrow Raise as I walked out the door...

I like the spockbrow, but I prefer the puzzled stunned look.

Awww I would have come up to them - real close like than speak in plain English telling them you had learned English from a special school that actually removes any hint of Japanese accent.

Then give them the Spock Brow.
