Can you see me giving the side eye in the picture?
What is a “side eye”?
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the “side eye,” is …
“A side eye is a facial expression meant to convey doubt, shock, scorn, or criticism of the person it’s aimed at. It’s made by looking at someone indirectly, out of the corners of the eyes.”
“Giving someone a look out of the corner of your eyes has been a sign of contempt, disbelief, suspicion, or sneakiness for a long while. Shakespeare called this type of look askance, another use that’s commonly used today. The look is also called a sidelong glance, which Charles Dickens, for instance, uses in his 1850 novel David Copperfield.Giving someone a look out of the corner of your eyes has been a sign of contempt, disbelief, suspicion, or sneakiness for a long while.
