Means Facial Expressions Faces Describing Script Similar People

English has many other phrases related to facial expressions beyond those in this script. For example, someone might say, "You look as if you've seen a ghost!" This means that you look frightened, or as if you had just seen a "ghost" (the visible spirit of a dead person). A similar expression, "you're as pale as a ghost," means that the skin on your face is very "pale" (lighter than normal), probably because you are scared.

Children sometimes "make faces at" other people, which means that they do strange things with their faces to make other people feel uncomfortable, such as sticking out their tongue, or pulling at the corners of their eyes. These behaviors are known as "making faces," but if they are directed at a specific person, then the child is "making faces at (someone)."

If you are angry, you might "give someone the evil eye," which means to "glare" (stare at someone angrily). This is similar to "giving someone a dirty look," which was discussed in the script. We say that people who give the evil eye are "shooting daggers at (someone)," where a "dagger" is a small, sharp knife.

If you don't believe what someone has said or done, or if you think it was silly or incorrect, you might "roll your eyes," which means that, without moving your head, you roll your eyes in a circle. Some teenagers roll their eyes disrespectfully at their parents or teachers.
