EN: To grimace; to twitch the lips
This is the face you make when your tita makes a corny joke but you have to be respectful. It's the micro-expression before a full-blown laugh or cry. It's the "loading..." icon of your facial emotions.
Often implies suppressing a stronger emotion, like a smile or a frown.
