eyeroll
Teenage dismissal gesture
An eyeroll is a gesture of exasperation, disbelief, or contempt—rotating the eyes upward or to the side to signal that something is ridiculous or tiresome.
The gesture and the word appear as both noun and verb: She gave an eyeroll when he started mansplaining; I couldn't help but eyeroll at that excuse.
Also spelled eye-roll or eye roll.
