My wife (with her cockney background) says that there is a name for (or possibly people who have) eyebrows that meet in the middle. Such a facial phenomenon (she says) is associated with intelligence and a dominant personality. She can't remember the name. Any ideas?

Synophrys may be the everyday word she's thinking of:

The word for the feature, though not for people with it, is "unibrow."

me has a suggestion of low intelligence or a coarse nature if anything
(probably unfairly). "High-brow" means "intellectual or of high
intelligence" but has nothing to do with eye-brows; it refers either to
a receding hair-line or a tall forehead. "Low-brow" is merely the
opposite of "high-brow". None of them has anything to do with dominant
personality.
