Name this facial expression...

[Phoenix646]

Ok, so I've come to a point in my story where a certain character has this unusal facial expression. I can't seem to think of the right word for it, so if anyone could help me out that would be great.


example

-You eat your roomate sandwich that was left in the frig, then he starts complaining about someone eating it. You kinda give a EEKed look because you know your screwed.


Any thoughts on how to say this?

 

[gauchecritic]

is this the sort of thing

 

[MathGirl]

Woo, woo

My goodness, Gauchie. I didn't realize what a handsome, studly chap you were.


<------------ How about the "dumb blonde" look, Phoenix?


Hey, do I get some sort of special recognition for having made more than 1000 posts? I know, I know... Recognition for someone who spends too much time fooling around here.

I am stricken and dismayed, but sadly defiant.

Expression

That G.W.Bush 'I feel like the world just dropped out of my bottom' expression.

 

[jfinn]

Or how about:

"I was so ashamed I wanted to fall through my asshole and hang myself."

[TheEarl]

Oh shit. That was his sandwich? The Earl stared at the floor, deliberately avoiding Phoenix's gaze.

Phoenix regarded him quizzically. "Why aren't you looking at me?" he asked.


Bit untidy, but off the top of my head.

YOU'RE, say YOU'RE screwed.
And all the other suggestions were good too.

MathGirl, love the dumb blonde look, as you say. I don't think she looks dumb. She's cute.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Could this expression be described as "plussed"? You always hear about people being "non-plussed", but you never hear about them being "plussed". This sounds like the opposite of "non-plussed".

Or maybe it's "chalant". The opposite of "nonchalant"?

Re: Expression

I always thought Shrub had no shame

( sorry, BK, couldn't resist)

I do love it though, when he crinkles his forehead to fein understanding or concern. Its his one size fits all emotion. Although he also has that annoying s$#t eating grin.

As to the mystery expression, I just call it " I looked busted"

Cosgrove again

It's the sort of expression that poor Cosgrove would have when he discovered that he'd just fired the ship's cat from the cannon.

and just think of the look on the poor cat's face

 

[TheEarl]

1st girl: You know you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed? Well can you ever just be...whelmed?

2nd girl: I think you can in Europe.


Name that film!

Oh, so now I get how you all feel when I refer to Red Dwarf .

The Earl

The film is "10 things I hate about you" with the sexy Heath Ledger - based upon Shakespear's "Taming of the Shrew".

 

[indigo sky]

i personally like "chagrin and dismayed"

 

[TheEarl]

Big ovation for Svenskaflicka. I'm very impressed with that.

Just to prove that my encyclopidiac knowledge of lines isn't limited to Shakespeare and Red Dwarf:

I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair,
I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
It even makes me rhyme

I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie,
I hate it when you make me laugh,
Even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
Not even close,
Not even a litle bit,
Not even at all.

The Earl

 

[MathGirl]

Awwwwwwwww

Dear Indigo Sky,
Awwwwwwwwwwww, a kitty. So cuuuuuuuuute.
MG

 

[pop_54]

Hmm

Could try a look of innocence and disbelief, then blame the dog.

Or a look of innocent and brazen it out claiming you know nothing of a sandwich in the fridge.

Or just a flush of embarrassment and admission of guilt.



Never mind the cat's face, I can't get the chickens expression out of my head, the one fired from the bow in Hot Shots.

pops.............

 

[Svenskaflicka]

Earl: That's so cute! And what's even cuter about that scene is that by the time she reads that poem, he has already put his I'm-sorry-please-forgive-me present in her car.

 

[MathGirl]

Hay, Pops!

Good grief, Pops. Where did you get that picture of my fiancee?
