Jump to: navigation, search

A smirk is a smile evoking insolence, scorn, or offensive smugness. It can also indicate mild amusement at something most others would laugh at, or suppressed laughter. "A constant smirk upon the face, and a whifling activity of the body, are strong indications of futility," the Earl of Chesterfield once wrote in a letter to his son.[1]
