crooked smile
Wry, uneven expression
A crooked smile is a smile that's asymmetrical—one side of the mouth rises higher than the other.
The expression often suggests slyness, mischief, or wry amusement: He gave her a crooked smile and said nothing.
A crooked smile can also indicate charm or vulnerability, lending someone an endearingly imperfect quality.
