Arch Manning decided to become a Texas Longhorn quarterback, so he is now the arch enemy of the rest of the Big 12 where he'll play and the SEC schools that tried to recruit him.

Never thought I'd make this headline!

Ah, so you're the principal or chief Hunter.  Neat.  Or are you just mischievous and saucy?

One of my favorite author's characters often gives people an arch look(1). I've not sure anyone knows exactly what that means. One claim is the person looks at you with an arched eyebrow. Another claim is that it means "mischievous or playful". Yet another says it means stern or foreboding. Since I can't define it, I won't use it. My characters will raise an eyebrow, appear mischievous or possibly stern, but will give no one an arch look.
