Just listening to the latest RecDiffs and I’d like to be the next in line to wonder why Brits are telling @siracusa and @hotdogsladies that frowning, in UK English, has nothing to do with the mouth.

NO-ONE THINKS THAT HERE.

Why are people saying it? Are they confusing frowning and scowling?

To be clear, in the UK — AND EVERYWHERE THAT SPEAKS ENGLISH — ☹️ = frown, 😠 = scowl. It’s not a debate.

I wonder what would happen if one tried to describe looking nonplussed.
