smilers
Those showing teeth
Smilers is the plural of smiler—someone who smiles, especially habitually or conspicuously.
The word often carries a note of suspicion or irony, as if excessive smiling signals insincerity: I don't trust those smilers in the sales department.
A smiler may also be someone currently smiling: The photographer sorted the smilers from the scowlers.
