rolls one's eyes
Shows silent annoyance
To roll one's eyes is to rotate the eyeballs upward or to the side, typically expressing exasperation, disbelief, or contempt.
The gesture signals that something is absurd, tedious, or unworthy of serious consideration: She rolled her eyes when he started explaining the rules again.
Eye-rolling can be subtle or theatrical, and doing it visibly to someone's face is dismissive or rude.
