roll one's eyes
Show silent annoyance
To roll one's eyes is to rotate the eyeballs upward or to the side, typically expressing exasperation, disbelief, or dismissal.
The gesture signals that something is ridiculous, tedious, or unworthy of serious consideration: She rolled her eyes when he made another excuse.
Eye-rolling can be subtle or theatrical, and is often considered rude when directed at authority figures.
