flat-mouthed

No curve shown

Flat-mouthed describes someone who speaks in a dull, expressionless manner, or whose mouth forms a straight, unemotional line.

A flat-mouthed response lacks enthusiasm or warmth.

The word can also describe physical features—a flat-mouthed fish has a mouth that extends horizontally rather than protruding.
