That Face

Courier News

Not to make light of the situation, but the expression on President Obama's face in a front-page photo in the Courier News is one I have been pondering recently.

Is there a name for that look?

We all know a smile or a grin when we see it.

That other face comes up when things are embarrassing.






I thought maybe it could be named for the emotion itself. Call it the cha-grin.

Well, whadda you know? There is a name for it: sturgeon face. It's even a meme.

May your day be free of circumstances that make you put on a sturgeon face.
