The word 'smile' typically denotes a happy, positive expression on one's face. However, there can be situations where an opposite expression of disapproval or sadness is warranted. Some antonyms for 'smile' include frown, scowl, grimace, sneer, and pout. Whereas a smile typically conveys warmth and friendliness, a frown or scowl may indicate anger or displeasure. Similarly, a grimace might denote a certain level of discomfort, whereas a sneer or pout might indicate mockery or disdain. These opposite expressions to a smile are as important to convey our emotions as a smile itself, and knowing these antonyms can help us understand the subtleties of human communication.

Famous quotes with Smile

  Red Adair
