Nihil Obstat Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I use the face to indicate sarcasm or deadpan humour. In that sense I definitely see the 'negative' connotation, although I generally try to use it in the context of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God the Father Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I think it's kinda mysterious. With such a neutral expression, how can you possibly have the faintest idea what is happening in his brain. Such a face piques the curiosity and invites questioning while simultaneously intimidating one into silent enigmatic contemplation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
