Gammerstang commented on the word man-browed
(adjective) - Having hair growing between the eyebrows. Here it is deemed unlucky to meet a person thus marked, especially if the first one meets in the morning. Elsewhere it is a favourable omen. The term, I suppose, had been primarily applied to a woman as by this exuberance indicating something of a masculine character. --John Jamieson's Etymological Scottish Dictionary, 1808
