grinner
One showing teeth
A grinner is someone who grins—shows teeth in a broad smile.
The word often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting the smile is foolish, excessive, or inappropriate: Look at that grinner posing for selfies.
In fishing slang, grinner refers to certain fish species known for their toothy appearance.
