Side-eye
Significado: A suspicious, disapproving, or judgmental sideways glance that communicates skepticism or displeasure without words.
The 'side-eye' is a nonverbal communication masterpiece — a sideways glance that conveys judgment, suspicion, or disapproval. Giving someone the side-eye means you're skeptical of what they're saying or doing, but you're not saying anything directly. It's passive-aggressive, often humorous, and deeply embedded in American pop culture.
