eye roll
Teenager's silent commentary
An eye roll is a gesture of exasperation, disbelief, or contempt—rotating the eyes upward or to the side to signal that something is ridiculous or tiresome.
As a verb, to eye-roll or roll one's eyes: She eye-rolled when he started mansplaining.
The gesture has become so common in text-based communication that it spawned an emoji.
