Bitchface

Bitchface is a term used to describe a facial expression that is perceived as unpleasant, hostile, or disdainful. It is not a clinical term but rather a colloquial and often derogatory descriptor for a particular look. The expression can involve a combination of features such as a downturned mouth, narrowed eyes, a furrowed brow, or a generally unsmiling appearance. The interpretation of a face as "bitchy" is subjective and can be influenced by cultural norms, individual perceptions, and the context in which the expression is observed.

The term can be applied to any gender, although it is sometimes associated with stereotypes about women. Its usage can be seen as judgmental and can contribute to negative perceptions of individuals based on their appearance. The concept of "bitchface" highlights how subtle facial cues can be interpreted in ways that carry social and emotional weight. It is often used in informal settings and can be considered offensive by some. The perception of a "bitchface" can also be influenced by unconscious biases and prejudgments.
