I’m offended. Shocked & annoyed. I googled frownsmile, only to find this blasphemous site:
http://www.flickr.com/groups/frownsmile/
This group or person has (in my opinion) mistaken the frownsmile for the smilefrown. CLEARLY the individuals pictured are making sad/angry/mean faces, covered by a smile. Thus, they are properly “smilefrowners”–as the last word of the compound word is the lasting sentiment. Am I crazy? Or, do you feel the same way?
Anyway, their instructions for producing a frownsmile are all wrong. They are mechanical and tell you what to do with your face. We who know, know that the frownsmile is first and foremost a feeling, then an expression.
