pouts

Lips thrust forward

Pouts are expressions of displeasure made by pushing the lips forward, typically signaling sulkiness or mild petulance: She gave him one of her famous pouts.

The word also refers to the lips themselves when positioned this way, sometimes deliberately for photographs or flirtation: pursing her lips into a pout for the camera.

As a verb, to pout is to make this expression or sulk silently.
