Word Distinction: Ways of Smiling

A smile is an expression of the face showing amusement or happiness. A grin is a very wide smile which usually shows the teeth. A leer is an unpleasant smile suggesting cruelty, thoughts of sex, etc. and a smirk is a silly, satisfied smile.

Did you know?


Do you know who said “Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I'm just a girl who wishes for the world.”? It was actress Marilyn Monroe (born as Norma Jeane Mortenson and also known as Norma Jeane Baker).
