glance (which is flirtatious) n.: oeillade [French]
In the movie Witness, [John Book] exchanges loving glances with Rachel … especially during a barn raising at which he carpenters and she waits on the communal tables. The two swap so many oeillades that it is a miracle the milk doesn’t end up in a Lapp’s lap, and Book’s finger nailed to the roof beam. (John Simon, review of Witness, National Review, 4/5/1985.)
