I have a question about what "give somebody a look" means.
Example1.
He gave me a really dirty look. It means he looked at me in a disapproving way.
Example2.
But, in the novel, Game of Thrones,
......, giving Ser Waymar a good long look at the stump.......
It means the guy makes Ser Waymar look at the stump
My question:
"I give him a look" means "I look at him".
"I give him a look at the car" means "I make him look at the car".
Are they right? Or weird?
Thank you
