smirked
Showed knowing amusement
Smirked is the past tense of smirk, meaning to smile in a self-satisfied, smug, or knowing way.
A smirk suggests the person knows something others don't, or feels superior: He smirked when she stumbled over the answer.
Unlike a genuine smile, a smirk often invites the urge to wipe it off someone's face.
