to show annoyance or disbelief · to express exasperation non-verbally
Ever heard something so obvious, annoying, or unbelievable that your eyes just involuntarily did a 360? 😂 That's 'rolling your eyes'! It's a classic non-verbal way to express mild exasperation, annoyance, or disbelief, often without saying a word. Perfect for when someone says something incredibly silly or states the painfully obvious.
💡 **Remember:** This expression describes a non-verbal cue, but we use the phrase 'to roll your eyes' to describe the action. While it's a common, sometimes humorous, reaction, it can also come across as dismissive or rude if used in formal settings or when someone is genuinely trying to be serious. Use it wisely, maybe with close friends or when the situation calls for a little sarcastic flair! 😉
When would you most likely 'roll your eyes'? A. When someone gives you a thoughtful gift. B. When your friend makes a really obvious joke for the tenth time. C. When you receive exciting news.
