Well, hello and welcome to this
0
600
1425
00:02
English lesson about facial expressions.
1
2026
3247
00:05
Facial expressions are when we use the
2
5274
3599
00:08
muscles in our face to make different
3
8874
2927
00:11
expressions that mean different things.
4
11802
4527
00:16
Now, I do have to say that these facial
5
16330
3119
00:19
expressions will be connected to English words and the
6
19450
4615
00:24
emotions and feelings we have or what we're experiencing
7
24066
4687
00:28
that causes us to make that expression.
8
28754
2303
00:31
And it might be different in your part of the world.
9
31058
2815
00:33
So not only will you be learning about facial expressions,
10
33874
3287
00:37
um, and what we call each one, but what it
11
37162
2815
00:39
means if you are in my part of the world.
12
39978
2775
00:42
I think most of them will be the same.
13
42754
3055
00:45
I think a smile is a universal facial expression.
14
45810
4431
00:50
But there's a few other ones that might
15
50242
1903
00:52
be a little bit different, and we'll.
16
52146
3119
00:55
We'll find out as we go along.
17
55266
2695
00:57
So, once again, welcome to this
18
57962
2343
01:00
English lesson about facial expressions. A smile.
19
60306
4135
01:04
So you'll notice I said a smile,
20
64442
2631
01:07
but you can also decide to smile.
21
67074
2535
01:09
So you can use it as a noun or a verb.
22
69610
2567
01:12
This guy has a really nice smile.
23
72178
2223
01:14
He looks really happy.
24
74402
1823
01:16
I wasn't planning on doing all the
25
76226
1919
01:18
facial expressions myself, but I am smiling.
26
78146
3929
01:22
Well, um, so when you smile, it
27
82076
2375
01:24
usually means you are experiencing joy.
28
84452
3495
01:27
It means you are happy.
29
87948
1935
01:29
It usually means that whatever you are
30
89884
2375
01:32
doing is a lot of fun.
31
92260
1791
01:34
And so you smile.
32
94052
1583
01:35
And this shows the people around you that you are
33
95636
3327
01:38
experiencing that emotion, that you are very, very happy.
34
98964
4271
01:43
So I smile a lot as I go through the day.
35
103236
2751
01:45
I'm usually in a good mood.
36
105988
1679
01:47
And I think a smile is an.
37
107668
2111
01:49
An important.
38
109780
975
01:52
Would I say tool.
39
112375
1440
01:53
I guess it's an important thing I use as a teacher.
40
113816
3511
01:57
I think smiling communicates to students and viewers like
41
117328
3255
02:00
you that I'm in a good mood and maybe
42
120584
2303
02:02
it will be pleasant and enjoyable to learn some
43
122888
2887
02:05
English from me or something else.
44
125776
1671
02:07
So smile, show you are happy.
45
127448
2507
02:10
A frown.
46
130935
980
02:13
A frown is something we use to express dissatisfaction.
47
133575
5208
02:18
If I see a student using their phone and
48
138784
2893
02:21
class, I might look at them and frown.
49
141678
1977
02:24
So I'm saying to them, I don't like what you're doing.
50
144435
3504
02:27
If I went to a birthday party and they served food
51
147940
3567
02:31
I didn't like, like, let's say there was a party for
52
151508
2887
02:34
me and let me think of a food I don't like.
53
154396
2815
02:37
I can't think of one.
54
157212
943
02:38
But let's say they serve pie and I really
55
158156
2287
02:40
wanted cake, I might frown to show my dissatisfaction.
56
160444
5207
02:45
When you are satisfied or when you
57
165652
2223
02:47
express satisfaction, you're happy with something.
58
167876
2847
02:50
When you express dissatisfaction, it means you not
59
170724
3371
02:54
happy, you are disappointed, you are not satisfied.
60
174096
4339
02:59
A scowl.
61
179295
1520
03:00
So a scowl.
62
180816
1447
03:02
It's kind of like trying to mimic
63
182264
3399
03:05
the person in the picture here.
64
185664
1623
03:07
A scowl also has a little bit of anger to it.
65
187288
4743
03:12
So it's dissatisfaction, but you're also a
66
192032
3207
03:15
little bit angry about the situation.
67
195240
2679
03:17
Like, just a tiny bit.
68
197920
1599
03:19
Like if someone tells me, um, there's a mess on the
69
199520
4123
03:23
floor, you have to mop it up, I might scowl because
70
203644
3191
03:26
I'm, like, angry that I have to do that job.
71
206836
3095
03:29
I might be annoyed or angry, or I might
72
209932
3391
03:33
be thinking, I do not want to do it.
73
213324
1967
03:35
So a scowl is like, you know,
74
215292
2443
03:38
it's hard for me to scowl.
75
218635
1352
03:39
I'm not a natural scowler.
76
219988
2415
03:42
But it's a look of dissatisfaction with
77
222404
3119
03:45
a little bit of anger mixed in.
78
225524
2855
03:48
At least annoyance mixed in a grimace.
79
228380
5265
03:53
Have you ever hurt yourself, twisted
80
233646
3015
03:56
your ankle, maybe stubbed your toe?
81
236662
2823
03:59
Uh, maybe you have.
82
239486
2007
04:01
When you're cutting your fingernails, you accidentally clip a little
83
241494
3191
04:04
too close to the skin, and you might go.
84
244686
2419
04:07
You might grimace.
85
247925
1528
04:09
Generally when we grimace, it's in response to
86
249454
3895
04:13
being injured, even maybe seeing someone getting injured.
87
253350
5027
04:18
If I saw someone driving their car and
88
258378
2622
04:21
they hit another car, I might go, because
89
261001
3528
04:24
I feel like, oh, maybe people got hurt.
90
264530
3047
04:27
So a grimace.
91
267578
1175
04:28
Probably the most common grimace for me
92
268754
2143
04:30
would be if I stub my toe.
93
270898
2023
04:32
Um, or let me see, how else do I hurt myself?
94
272922
3023
04:35
Sometimes, I guess, just playing a sport.
95
275946
3111
04:39
And you twist your ankle, maybe.
96
279058
3197
04:42
I played volleyball once, and the volleyball hit the ends
97
282256
3175
04:45
of my fingers and jammed my fingers in a bit.
98
285432
2511
04:47
And I was like, I grimaced when that happened.
99
287944
3767
04:51
So to grimace, to make a facial expression because
100
291712
4135
04:55
of pain, a grin, same as a smile.
101
295848
4359
05:00
There is literally no difference when
102
300208
2455
05:02
you grin from ear to ear.
103
302664
1839
05:04
Sometimes we say, he was grinning from ear to earth.
104
304504
3373
05:07
So your smile or grin is so big.
105
307878
2533
05:10
Um, we say it's from ear to ear.
106
310412
2143
05:12
But a grin is, again, simply an expression of
107
312556
3023
05:15
happiness, an expression of joy, an expression of contentness.
108
315580
4975
05:20
You are very content and happy.
109
320556
2175
05:22
So hopefully you grin and smile a lot today.
110
322732
3423
05:26
Again, no difference between the two.
111
326156
1559
05:27
You know, he had a large smile on his face.
112
327716
2247
05:29
He had a large grin on his face.
113
329964
1671
05:31
They mean the same thing, disgust.
114
331636
4009
05:35
So we've shifted a bit in terms of the words I'm using.
115
335646
3783
05:39
This, I would say, is a look of disgust.
116
339430
3375
05:42
So he is expressing a feeling of disgust.
117
342806
4199
05:47
Probably the best example I can think of is
118
347006
2927
05:49
if food has gone bad and smells funny.
119
349934
3535
05:53
If I smell the milk container, I might do that.
120
353470
4687
05:58
I just saw myself on the screen.
121
358158
2247
06:00
I might express disgust, like.
122
360406
2869
06:03
Like, oh, that smelled gross.
123
363276
2751
06:06
That would be another word we would use in English.
124
366028
3127
06:09
Um, an expression of disgust
125
369156
2223
06:11
or that something is gross.
126
371380
2675
06:16
You can also express disgust at what people are doing.
127
376635
3460
06:20
You might see someone. I.
128
380835
2800
06:23
The only thing I can think of is
129
383636
1639
06:25
you're walking home late at night and you
130
385276
2359
06:27
see someone who's intoxicated and they've decided to.
131
387636
4279
06:32
Yeah, in English we would say take a
132
392855
2528
06:35
pee on the side of the road.
133
395384
1775
06:37
And you might be like, can't they find a bathroom?
134
397160
3031
06:40
Um, so anyways, you might have an expression
135
400192
2903
06:43
of disgust or a look of disgust.
136
403096
2699
06:46
And then, of course, sometimes you have surprise.
137
406575
3624
06:50
If I walked into a room the night of my
138
410200
3015
06:53
birthday and turned on a light and there were 50
139
413216
2543
06:55
people in the house and they all yelled surprise.
140
415760
2759
06:58
I would have a look of surprise.
141
418520
1687
07:00
I'd be like.
142
420208
907
07:01
I would be like, what is going on here?
143
421735
2056
07:03
And then maybe Jen would say,
144
423792
1511
07:05
it's a surprise party for you.
145
425304
2231
07:07
Sometimes people will give you a gift
146
427536
2015
07:09
and you weren't expecting a gift.
147
429552
1951
07:11
And then you would have.
148
431504
863
07:12
You'd be like, you would have a look of surprise.
149
432368
3367
07:15
Notice his eyes are open, his
150
435736
2447
07:18
mouth is open a little bit.
151
438184
1583
07:19
A look of surprise because he has received a gift,
152
439768
4047
07:23
maybe unexpectedly, but he already has a party hat on.
153
443816
3745
07:27
So I'm assuming he kind of knew this would happen.
154
447562
3363
07:31
Anger.
155
451625
896
07:32
So you can have a look of anger on your face.
156
452522
2703
07:35
You can see this guy does not look happy.
157
455226
3039
07:38
Anger is associated with the emotion of
158
458266
2879
07:41
being angry, being mad at someone.
159
461146
2743
07:43
Um, I'm going to try and make an
160
463890
1551
07:45
angry face that kind of looked like.
161
465442
4207
07:49
I don't know if that's like.
162
469650
2493
07:52
I like to.
163
472144
1103
07:53
I guess I sounded like a pirate there.
164
473248
1543
07:54
Like, arrr.
165
474792
1095
07:55
Like, you're, You're.
166
475888
1679
07:57
It's almost like a scowl.
167
477568
1519
07:59
And you, you kind of scrunch your forehead together.
168
479088
2639
08:01
You see how, like, when you draw an angry
169
481728
5223
08:06
person, you put like a little line above their
170
486952
2887
08:09
eye so it looks like there's like. Yeah, I don't know.
171
489840
3711
08:13
I'm not an artist.
172
493552
1391
08:14
Anger is used.
173
494944
1951
08:16
An angry expression is used to let people know that
174
496896
3639
08:20
you are upset, you are annoyed, you are out angry.
175
500536
3995
08:24
You just do not like what
176
504532
2095
08:26
they said or what they're doing.
177
506628
2143
08:28
Or even in a situation, you might come home and
178
508772
3039
08:31
your house is flooded because it rained all day.
179
511812
2943
08:34
Yet you might be angry about that. So you're.
180
514756
2351
08:37
You're not angry at a person,
181
517108
1703
08:38
but you're angry at the situation.
182
518812
2443
08:42
Sadness.
183
522875
816
08:43
So this is a feeling that
184
523692
2375
08:46
you can see on people's faces.
185
526068
2399
08:48
You know, I'm trying to be as
186
528468
4593
08:53
sad as the guy in the picture.
187
533062
1095
08:54
Let me make it bigger for a sec.
188
534158
1547
08:57
Just. I Just look tired.
189
537605
1272
08:58
When I try to look sad, I just look.
190
538878
2775
09:01
I shouldn't laugh about this.
191
541654
1871
09:03
Sadness is a real thing.
192
543526
1519
09:05
If you are feeling sad, maybe something
193
545046
2407
09:07
bad has happened in your life.
194
547454
1535
09:08
Maybe you've lost your job.
195
548990
1719
09:10
Um, maybe even something more serious.
196
550710
2879
09:13
Maybe someone in your family was hurt.
197
553590
1919
09:15
Maybe someone has passed away.
198
555510
1807
09:17
You will feel sad and you will
199
557318
1879
09:19
have a facial expression like this.
200
559198
2875
09:22
Definitely not much expression.
201
562074
3031
09:25
But also you can just see there's a look of concern,
202
565106
3279
09:28
there's a look of just not a lot of energy.
203
568386
3263
09:31
Um, feeling sad because something happened in
204
571650
3263
09:34
this person's life that makes them sad.
205
574914
3131
09:39
Fear.
206
579065
1200
09:40
If you have a look of fear,
207
580266
1983
09:42
it generally means you have big.
208
582250
2719
09:44
Your eyes are open really big.
209
584970
1655
09:46
Um, if someone jumped out from
210
586626
2641
09:49
behind a wall at night and.
211
589268
1879
09:51
And said boo and tried to scare me,
212
591148
2295
09:53
by the way, it was Halloween last night.
213
593444
2023
09:55
It would probably look similar to
214
595468
2347
09:58
the look I gave of shock. Like.
215
598635
2880
10:01
Like, I would probably jump back.
216
601516
2559
10:04
I would probably move my hands as well.
217
604076
2783
10:06
It's because you.
218
606860
791
10:07
You might want to.
219
607652
1039
10:08
You might think, oh, what's happening?
220
608692
1959
10:10
I better put my hands up to defend myself.
221
610652
2823
10:13
And then you would have, like,
222
613476
2453
10:15
your eyes really wide open.
223
615930
2071
10:18
And you would of course, be experiencing fear.
224
618002
3671
10:21
You would be afraid of whatever's happening.
225
621674
3191
10:24
Your heart rate would go up.
226
624866
1271
10:26
You would be ready to run away because you're
227
626138
2935
10:29
not sure what's happening and you are afraid.
228
629074
2931
10:33
A smirk.
229
633225
1520
10:34
So a smirk is a kind of half smile.
230
634746
4639
10:39
A smirk is not always good thing.
231
639386
3919
10:43
So someone might.
232
643306
1459
10:45
Someone might smirk if you do something wrong.
233
645905
3640
10:49
Like, let's say I was a mean person and I
234
649546
4063
10:53
was in an English class and someone else was speaking
235
653610
3271
10:56
English and they were making lots of mistakes.
236
656882
2447
10:59
I might smirk and I might think, huh, I.
237
659330
2943
11:02
I'm way better than them.
238
662274
1263
11:03
Like, I'm way better than them.
239
663538
2271
11:05
Um, so it's not always a nice thing.
240
665810
2495
11:08
It's a little bit of arrogance, like,
241
668306
2867
11:11
feeling like you're better than someone else.
242
671174
2471
11:13
Um, it can be more passive as well.
243
673646
3847
11:17
Like, if someone tells a joke and it's not really that
244
677494
6191
11:23
funny, you might be like, you might smirk a little bit.
245
683686
3687
11:27
So in that sense, it's more of a positive thing.
246
687374
2943
11:30
But to smirk means to, you know,
247
690318
2867
11:34
just kind of smile a little bit.
248
694445
1808
11:36
Sometimes just with one corner of your mouth.
249
696254
2247
11:38
Like this person here is doing to smirk.
250
698502
4109
11:42
And it's also a smirk.
251
702612
1351
11:43
So he has a smirk on his face and he is smirking.
252
703964
3647
11:47
It's both a noun and a verb.
253
707612
2243
11:51
A sneer.
254
711755
1640
11:53
So a sneer is interesting because it.
255
713396
3615
11:57
It signals aggression a little bit.
256
717012
2671
11:59
Like, it's like, it's like you're saying, really? Hmm.
257
719684
4807
12:04
Yeah.
258
724492
519
12:05
I'm not very good at making a sneer, but in
259
725012
3231
12:08
this case, I think maybe this person was just insulted
260
728244
4725
12:12
and they're about to give an insult back.
261
732970
2551
12:15
Like, if someone said to me, bob, you're. You're.
262
735522
3551
12:19
You're dumb.
263
739074
1015
12:20
I might be like, really?
264
740090
2615
12:22
And then, like, you're starting to
265
742706
1959
12:24
get maybe a little bit angry.
266
744666
2711
12:27
So a sneer is not a positive facial expression.
267
747378
3511
12:30
It is definitely communicating a negative emotion.
268
750890
3239
12:34
Tiny bit of anger, tiny bit of annoyance,
269
754130
2943
12:37
and maybe a little bit of aggression.
270
757074
2495
12:39
Like, if you see two boxers meet before a boxing
271
759570
3747
12:43
match and they shake hands, and then they might be
272
763318
2295
12:45
like, they might say a few things, and then they
273
765614
2527
12:48
might sneer at each other a little bit just to
274
768142
2207
12:50
let the other person know that they're ready and willing
275
770350
3727
12:54
to fight in the boxing match.
276
774078
1867
12:57
To wince.
277
777325
1312
12:58
Very similar to grimace.
278
778638
2231
13:00
Um, you can wince.
279
780870
1727
13:02
I know the last time I winced was because a bee
280
782598
2695
13:05
was flying at my head and then it didn't turn.
281
785294
3113
13:08
Also, I saw something out of the corner of
282
788408
1919
13:10
my eye, and I was like, I kind of
283
790328
1807
13:12
closed my eyes a bit and turned away.
284
792136
3439
13:15
You can wince when you.
285
795576
1943
13:17
If you go see a movie and there's a really
286
797520
2559
13:20
violent scene, um, and you might just wince because you
287
800080
4447
13:24
kind of don't want to look at it.
288
804528
2015
13:26
Um, you might wince if you.
289
806544
2207
13:28
Let's say two of your friends started fighting.
290
808752
2719
13:31
Like, actually punching each other would hope
291
811472
2829
13:34
you tried to break up the fight.
292
814302
1423
13:35
But you might wince because you might be like.
293
815726
2399
13:38
When you see violence, sometimes you.
294
818126
2903
13:41
You don't want to look at it.
295
821030
1815
13:42
So to wince, to close your eyes and kind of.
296
822846
3359
13:46
You can see how there's, like, a speed to it.
297
826206
2135
13:48
Like, kind of look away.
298
828342
2343
13:50
Bees trying to fly into my face.
299
830686
2431
13:53
Not a very nice thing to stare.
300
833118
4703
13:57
So to stare means I'll.
301
837822
1527
13:59
I'll do a stare for a sec.
302
839350
1595
14:03
When you stare at someone, you look at them intently.
303
843585
5136
14:08
You don't look away.
304
848722
1943
14:10
And then you often don't blink very much either.
305
850666
3239
14:13
I mean, you do blink, but this, to
306
853906
3343
14:17
me, is a perfect example of a stare.
307
857250
2503
14:19
I'm trying to do it right now.
308
859754
1759
14:21
I'm trying to look intently at the lens.
309
861514
3571
14:26
It can be a little bit strange.
310
866595
2504
14:29
Like, if you're in a public place and someone
311
869100
2295
14:31
you don't know stares at you, you kind of
312
871396
3111
14:34
feel like, oh, why are they staring at me?
313
874508
1927
14:36
I did have this at the train station a
314
876436
2223
14:38
few months ago where someone was staring at me.
315
878660
2975
14:41
And then eventually they came up and
316
881636
1527
14:43
asked if I was bob The Canadian.
317
883164
1727
14:44
And I said, yes.
318
884892
1199
14:46
But to stare at someone means to look at someone
319
886092
3879
14:49
and to hardly blink and to not look away either.
320
889972
4047
14:54
Because now there's a number of reasons for a stare.
321
894020
2343
14:56
You might stare at someone
322
896364
1767
14:58
because you think they're attractive.
323
898132
1833
14:59
It's rude to do that.
324
899966
1615
15:01
But you might stare at someone
325
901582
1367
15:02
because you think they're attractive.
326
902950
1943
15:04
I might stare at a student so they behave.
327
904894
2943
15:07
If a student is talking in class when
328
907838
2911
15:10
they're not supposed to, I might look at
329
910750
1463
15:12
them instead of saying, hey, Johnny, stop talking.
330
912214
3263
15:15
I might try to catch their eye and I give them a look.
331
915478
5551
15:21
But it's kind of a stare, trying
332
921030
2255
15:23
to communicate that they should behave.
333
923286
2639
15:25
So there's a number of reasons to stare.
334
925926
2219
15:30
An eye roll or to roll your eyes.
335
930085
3336
15:33
This is something you do.
336
933422
1843
15:36
Maybe you're watching a movie
337
936405
1928
15:38
and someone says something.
338
938334
1455
15:39
That's just what we would say.
339
939790
2687
15:42
Silly or corny or it doesn't make sense.
340
942478
2207
15:44
You might be like, you're basically saying
341
944686
3511
15:48
you don't think that was funny.
342
948198
1559
15:49
Maybe a person you're talking
343
949758
1447
15:51
to says something and you.
344
951206
2167
15:53
You just think, oh, really?
345
953374
2511
15:55
Like, you roll your eyes because either you
346
955886
2199
15:58
don't agree with them, you think what they
347
958086
2247
16:00
said was silly, or you can't believe it.
348
960334
3495
16:03
Like, maybe they say, oh, my mom got in
349
963830
2071
16:05
a car accident for the fourth time this week.
350
965902
1911
16:07
You might be like, are you serious? Like, you're.
351
967814
3567
16:11
You're kind of like, yeah, you're
352
971382
3215
16:14
not excited about the situation.
353
974598
2567
16:17
So it's an eye roll.
354
977166
1431
16:18
Teenagers do this a lot.
355
978598
1591
16:20
If you say, this homework is due tomorrow.
356
980190
2151
16:22
You might see a few students go where they just
357
982342
3031
16:25
roll their eyes, expressing dissatisfaction at what you said.
358
985374
5811
16:32
So I think we've done wink before.
359
992885
1736
16:34
In another lesson.
360
994622
1663
16:36
I can wink with one eye.
361
996286
3019
16:39
I can kind of wink with the other eye.
362
999965
4616
16:44
I'm not very good at it.
363
1004582
1295
16:45
Um, you can wink at someone for a number of reasons.
364
1005878
3295
16:49
It can have, like, there can
365
1009174
2957
16:52
be a romantic element to it.
366
1012132
2535
16:54
You know, if you see someone who you think
367
1014668
2015
16:56
is attractive, you might wink at them, but it
368
1016684
2207
16:58
is considered a little forward and a little inappropriate.
369
1018892
5055
17:03
Maybe, like, you're.
370
1023948
1695
17:05
If you see someone or meet someone who you are
371
1025644
4047
17:09
compatible with, who you might have a romantic interest in,
372
1029692
3679
17:13
I highly recommend that you just have a conversation.
373
1033372
3102
17:16
Uh, winking is kind of.
374
1036475
1691
17:18
Kind of strange and weird.
375
1038167
1544
17:19
Like, if, if.
376
1039712
1207
17:20
If there was someone.
377
1040920
1519
17:22
Like, let's say when I was in
378
1042440
1463
17:23
university, there was someone I liked.
379
1043904
1799
17:25
If I was like, hi, that's just weird. Don't.
380
1045704
2975
17:28
Don't do that.
381
1048680
799
17:29
But in movies, you might see people do that.
382
1049480
2743
17:32
You might give a wink if something's funny.
383
1052224
2727
17:34
Like, if someone says to me, I'm
384
1054952
3527
17:38
trying to think of an example.
385
1058480
1475
17:40
Oh, if I brought donuts to work and one of
386
1060495
3174
17:43
my colleagues was like, hey, thanks for the donuts.
387
1063670
2063
17:45
I might be like this.
388
1065734
991
17:46
I might be like, no problem.
389
1066726
1819
17:49
Like, it kind of communicates, hey,
390
1069165
2136
17:51
we're on the same team.
391
1071302
1527
17:52
We're friendly.
392
1072830
1575
17:54
I did something nice for you and you thanked me.
393
1074406
2335
17:56
So it's kind of like, you're welcome.
394
1076742
1923
17:59
I'm not sure why he's doing the.
395
1079445
1776
18:01
I guess I pointed too, didn't I?
396
1081222
1591
18:02
Like, you're welcome.
397
1082814
1087
18:03
No problem.
398
1083902
1599
18:05
I don't wink very often.
399
1085502
1311
18:06
You could probably tell puppy dog eyes.
400
1086814
5183
18:11
So this is obviously a puppy, a small dog.
401
1091998
4663
18:16
A baby dog is called a puppy.
402
1096662
2167
18:18
And we have something called puppy dog eyes.
403
1098830
2735
18:21
This is a facial expression that young
404
1101566
3279
18:24
children will often use in order to
405
1104846
3079
18:27
get their parents to agree to something.
406
1107926
2551
18:30
So if my kids were much younger, and if
407
1110478
3863
18:34
they said, can I have some ice cream?
408
1114342
1815
18:36
And I said no, they might say like, please.
409
1116158
3639
18:39
And they might try to make p. I can't do it. I'm old.
410
1119798
4383
18:44
I'm in my 50s.
411
1124182
1007
18:45
I can't make puppy dog eyes.
412
1125190
1543
18:46
But it's like, please.
413
1126734
1951
18:48
You'll probably have seen this in movies or in cartoons
414
1128686
4215
18:52
or with children that you know in your life.
415
1132902
2687
18:55
Either your own kids or nephews
416
1135590
1591
18:57
and nieces or even younger siblings.
417
1137182
2871
19:00
When children really want something, sometimes
418
1140054
2743
19:02
they will do that to squint.
419
1142798
4655
19:07
So this is an interesting one.
420
1147454
1951
19:09
Often when I make a video when it's really sunny outside,
421
1149406
4615
19:14
if I don't have my sunglasses, I need to squint.
422
1154022
3399
19:17
It's too bright. And I.
423
1157422
1799
19:19
Here, I can mimic it for a sec. Let's do this.
424
1159222
2439
19:21
So it's going to be dark, and
425
1161662
1015
19:22
then it's going to be really bright.
426
1162678
1507
19:25
So then I have to squint until.
427
1165565
3640
19:29
Because I can't, um, it's too bright for me to see.
428
1169206
5001
19:34
My eyes can't adjust.
429
1174208
1799
19:36
So you can see this guy.
430
1176008
1607
19:37
Not sure where he is, but he's squinting a
431
1177616
2071
19:39
little bit with one eye, maybe with both eyes.
432
1179688
2895
19:42
Sometimes you need to squint when
433
1182584
2551
19:45
it is too bright outside.
434
1185136
2319
19:47
A good example would be sometimes at the movie
435
1187456
3967
19:51
theater when the movie's done, they turn the lights
436
1191424
3127
19:54
on full brightness at the end of the movie.
437
1194552
2679
19:57
And then your eyes are used to the dark,
438
1197232
2567
19:59
and then you're like, oh, it's really bright.
439
1199800
2205
20:02
Like, and then you squint a little bit.
440
1202006
2231
20:04
So to squint means to close your
441
1204238
3007
20:07
eyes slightly because it is too bright.
442
1207246
3179
20:12
Glare.
443
1212285
840
20:13
So this is very similar to stare.
444
1213126
4087
20:17
In fact, you can see that they rhyme.
445
1217214
2191
20:19
But when you glare at someone, it
446
1219406
3055
20:22
means you don't like what they're doing.
447
1222462
2511
20:24
In fact, the example I gave of staring
448
1224974
2559
20:27
at a student so they stopped talking, um,
449
1227534
3403
20:30
I would probably glare at the student.
450
1230938
2639
20:33
Let's say all the students in my school were in
451
1233578
3863
20:37
the gym and we had a speaker up front talking.
452
1237442
4007
20:41
And a two students were.
453
1241450
1583
20:43
Were talking in the back row.
454
1243034
1967
20:45
Instead of going over to tell them to
455
1245002
2239
20:47
stop talking, I might glare at them.
456
1247242
1615
20:48
I might be like, I might just stare
457
1248858
4535
20:53
intently at them so that they stop talking.
458
1253394
4693
20:58
Hopefully they look at me so
459
1258088
1303
20:59
they can see that I'm glaring. This.
460
1259392
2663
21:02
This lady is definitely glaring.
461
1262056
2063
21:04
That is a glare. It. It's.
462
1264120
2399
21:06
It's just more intense than staring.
463
1266520
4127
21:10
So when you stare at someone, when you glare at
464
1270648
2967
21:13
someone, you might open your eyes a little bit more
465
1273616
3919
21:17
and look at them very, very intently to beam.
466
1277536
5931
21:23
When you beam, it means it's.
467
1283468
3375
21:26
You're going to be smiling, but it's
468
1286844
1535
21:28
like your whole face is smiling.
469
1288380
2143
21:30
I tried to find a picture of people beaming.
470
1290524
2751
21:33
I feel like these people are beaming with joy.
471
1293276
3023
21:36
We often say that people beam with joy.
472
1296300
3503
21:39
Um, it's where, like the day when you
473
1299804
4087
21:43
have a baby, you're usually beaming for joy.
474
1303892
2751
21:46
Like, even if you weren't smiling, people would be
475
1306644
2805
21:49
able to tell from your eyes and everything about
476
1309450
3055
21:52
you that you are just super happy.
477
1312506
1951
21:54
So here's a smile.
478
1314458
1187
21:56
And then I'm going to try being.
479
1316225
1780
21:59
I'm o.
480
1319425
1144
22:00
I don't even know what that looked like, but
481
1320570
2047
22:02
you're just so happy that people, like, within a
482
1322618
3375
22:05
split second of looking at you, they can see
483
1325994
2199
22:08
that you are full of joy for some reason.
484
1328194
3351
22:11
And having a child would be a good example.
485
1331546
2919
22:14
Someone has a.
486
1334466
953
22:15
If someone at work has a baby the next
487
1335420
2295
22:17
day when they come to work, they're usually beaming.
488
1337716
2231
22:19
They're super happy because they had a baby to pout.
489
1339948
6267
22:27
So kids often pout when they don't get what they want.
490
1347275
3584
22:30
It's to express that you are not happy.
491
1350860
3511
22:34
So if.
492
1354372
1463
22:35
If I was a kid and I said
493
1355836
1583
22:37
to my mom, can I have a candy?
494
1357420
1375
22:38
And my mom said, no, I might pout.
495
1358796
3779
22:42
You stick out your bottom lip,
496
1362576
1819
22:45
you look a little bit sad.
497
1365015
1960
22:46
You're annoyed.
498
1366976
1071
22:48
Um, I used to pout when I was a kid.
499
1368048
2631
22:50
Adults sometimes pout as well.
500
1370680
1935
22:52
It doesn't look quite as strong as a child.
501
1372616
2695
22:55
Like, maybe, but definitely kids sometimes pout
502
1375312
4991
23:00
when they don't get what they want.
503
1380304
2407
23:02
So a pouting child, it's not always A
504
1382712
3687
23:06
good way to get what you want.
505
1386400
1455
23:07
Sometimes your parents just don't care.
506
1387856
2093
23:09
But sometimes kids will pout to raise your eyebrows.
507
1389950
7143
23:17
We sometimes raise our eyebrows when we're surprised.
508
1397094
2951
23:20
Like, you can see my eyebrows are going up.
509
1400046
4255
23:24
We sometimes raise our eyebrows when we're like,
510
1404302
2943
23:27
we kind of don't agree with someone.
511
1407246
1655
23:28
Like, if someone said, messi's the best football player
512
1408902
2823
23:31
in the world, I might be like, really?
513
1411726
2401
23:34
Like, I might raise my eyebrows and then
514
1414128
2583
23:36
I might start to disagree with them.
515
1416712
2415
23:39
Uh, in my short lesson on my other channel,
516
1419128
3287
23:42
I did the phrase I beg to differ.
517
1422416
1935
23:44
This would be a facial expression you would give.
518
1424352
3191
23:47
If someone said, baseball is better than football,
519
1427544
4319
23:51
I might be like, I beg to differ.
520
1431864
2407
23:54
I might raise my eyebrows, showing
521
1434272
2527
23:56
that I disagree a little bit.
522
1436800
2591
23:59
Then I might say, I beg to differ.
523
1439392
2199
24:01
I think baseball is better than football. I don't.
524
1441592
2175
24:03
I don't actually have a choice. I mean, I don't have a
525
1443768
2943
24:06
preference, but you could use that. It.
526
1446712
3431
24:10
It's equivalent to the English phrase oh, really?
527
1450144
2751
24:12
Like, oh, really?
528
1452896
1975
24:14
Oh, really?
529
1454872
1223
24:16
Meaning that you kind of disagree with the person.
530
1456096
2539
24:19
A dirty look.
531
1459335
1776
24:21
So this is the best dirty look I could find.
532
1461112
3431
24:24
You give someone a dirty look when
533
1464544
2119
24:26
you don't like what they're doing.
534
1466664
2111
24:28
Moms and grandmas are good at giving dir looks.
535
1468776
2963
24:31
Parents are good at giving dirty looks.
536
1471740
2319
24:34
It means you don't like what the child is doing.
537
1474060
2599
24:36
So my dirty look would be like.
538
1476660
1835
24:39
It's similar to the glare that I would use.
539
1479755
3040
24:42
But a dirty look basically means I don't like
540
1482796
2135
24:44
what you're doing and you should stop doing that.
541
1484932
2783
24:47
Um, you might do this in public. Although we. It's.
542
1487716
3719
24:51
It's kind of aggressive.
543
1491436
1871
24:53
So you wouldn't really do this
544
1493308
1343
24:54
to someone you don't know.
545
1494652
1631
24:56
Um, but certainly within a family, um, if
546
1496284
3105
24:59
your brother tells an inappropriate joke at the
547
1499390
5311
25:04
supper table, you might give him a dirty
548
1504702
1615
25:06
look because you're like, don't upset. Um.
549
1506318
3207
25:09
Oh, what's a good example?
550
1509526
1103
25:10
A good example would be, let's say a girl
551
1510630
3279
25:13
brings a boyfriend home for the first time to
552
1513910
2783
25:16
meet her parents, and then he says something that
553
1516694
5007
25:21
she knows the parents won't like.
554
1521702
1751
25:23
She might, like, hit him with her
555
1523454
1359
25:24
elbow and give him a dirty look.
556
1524814
1351
25:26
Like, don't say that.
557
1526166
1415
25:27
So it basically is a way to tell people you don't
558
1527582
3809
25:31
like what they're doing and they should stop doing it.
559
1531392
2163
25:34
Confused.
560
1534335
1136
25:35
I see this sometimes at school.
561
1535472
1919
25:37
Sometimes students are confused.
562
1537392
1903
25:39
A confused look is kind of like, like, it
563
1539296
2375
25:41
can be like, it looks a little bit like
564
1541672
3079
25:44
sadness mixed with just not knowing what's going on.
565
1544752
4695
25:49
This person definitely looks confused.
566
1549448
2023
25:51
Like, they're like, oh.
567
1551472
2263
25:53
Like when I look at the screen that
568
1553736
3097
25:56
shows all the trains that go to Toronto
569
1556834
2959
25:59
and when they leave, I look like this. I'm like.
570
1559794
2731
26:03
I'm kind of. I just. I don't.
571
1563625
1424
26:05
Which one do I need to go on?
572
1565050
1287
26:06
What direction am I going?
573
1566338
1775
26:08
What time does it leave?
574
1568114
2527
26:10
And then some people looking at
575
1570642
1887
26:12
the train schedule are like this. They're just thinking.
576
1572530
2079
26:14
They're like, I do this sometimes in my videos.
577
1574610
3871
26:18
People have commented where I'm like.
578
1578482
1723
26:21
And I even put my little.
579
1581145
1368
26:22
My finger there. Not my little.
580
1582514
1631
26:24
This is your little finger. My pointer finger.
581
1584146
1607
26:25
I'll be like, hmm.
582
1585754
1761
26:27
Do you know the names of the fingers?
583
1587516
1479
26:28
I don't know if I know them all.
584
1588996
1143
26:30
Thumb, pointer finger, middle finger,
585
1590140
2247
26:32
ring finger, little finger, pinky.
586
1592388
2887
26:35
We call it a pinky as well.
587
1595276
1695
26:36
Anyways, thinking.
588
1596972
