"A unibrow (or monobrow) is a "confluence of eyebrows"; i.e., the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that they seem to converge to form one long eyebrow."
The article continues...
"In Western perception, the unibrow may make a person seem ugly, fierce, grumpy, or overly serious, so much so that the unibrow has become something of a cliché in fiction, especially with cartoon characters."
The unibrow, while frowned upon, provides several key evolutionary advantages. For one, you folks with two eyebrows have to worry about sweat running down the bridge of your nose. Not us - we've got a handy patch of fur to catch those beads of sweat before they obscure our vision.
Also, unibrows provide additional shade on a sunny day. Wish you had a hat? I don't need one! I've got my unibrow.
In Grade 10, my friends ridiculed my single brow. I plucked it, ever so gently, till that brow was eventually broken in two. When I returned to school the next day, no one noticed. Over the years, I've come to accept my unibrow, and one day, I will let it grow to its full potential.
How many of you are closet Unibrows?
