This is a serious question /lit/. What is this expression? I don’t mean what demeanour its communicating, like “incredulity”, what is the actual presentiment on the face called?

Another example. A bit subtler and less conceited

Once again, serious question guys

I won't be of much help but I will add that losing the distinction between countenance and face weakens communication. I hate hearing people say that someone "made a face with their face". It sounds so retarded.

I was hoping your thread would get at least some traction. So it goes. Anyways, I'll also add that Dickens is big on describing faces - though it does not answer your original question.

Incredibility.

Not everything has a word. The real test of a writer is to communicate things succinctly for which obvious words don’t already exist.

words can only simplify

But I’m not trying to be a writer. This just came up in an email and I was trying to think of a word for a face someone made at me.

When I see his facial expression, I always get:
>Get a load of this guy, does he know what he's saying?
>>14066911
That's the correct word for it.
