smiler
One showing teeth
A smiler is someone who smiles, especially habitually or characteristically.
The word often carries a faintly suspicious undertone—suggesting someone whose constant smile may be masking true feelings or intentions: I don't trust that smiler.
In British slang, a smiler can be a drink, particularly one offered as a treat.
