scowls
Shows facial displeasure
Scowls are angry or disapproving facial expressions, typically involving furrowed brows and a downturned mouth.
As a verb, to scowl is to make such a face: She scowled at the interruption.
A scowl communicates displeasure without words—darker than a frown, less dramatic than a glare.
