What is the gender neutral term for a person who seems incapable of facial expressions and always looks a bit angry or annoyed?

Asking for myself.

@Anke I've always thought so, but if I describe myself that way others generally disagree with me.

@Anke That is a really good description. I think I like Resting Grump Face best so far.

@Jo That's not bad. I saw a few others, like resting asshole face, but that seems to imply the wrong thing.

@Jo @minego ohh, I like this one. Because it sound similar

@maloki @minego Only problem is, after posting I just remembered that "pissed" also means "drunk" in the UK. :blobfacepalm:

@Jo @maloki When I'm "pissed" in that sense is about the only time my facial expressions really do change.

@minego @Jo what about resting grump face?

@maloki @Jo I do usually describe myself as a grump, but lately a few people have gotten on my case because I'm not actually very grumpy. I just look the part.

@maloki @Jo So, RGF vs "grump" may be a good fit.

@hhardy01 Whoa, that is uncalled for. Watch your mouth!

@minego

I hope I did not make you cry.

Trump supporters are such delicate flowers. :)

@hhardy01 I am NOT a Trump supporter. Being called one is very offensive.

@minego

Then what are you offended by, exactly?

@minego

I wasn't calling you a Republican.

That wasn't even in my mind until you told me to watch my mouth.

Which is difficult without a mirror. :)

@hhardy01 I was talking about myself in the original toot, so in a sense any answer was something you're calling me.

@hhardy01 (I'm not actually offended. If I could show facial expressions maybe that would be clear.)

@minego

That wasn't at all clear from what you wrote.

Sorry. (sincerely)

@hhardy01 You're fine. No need to apologize.

@minego

No worries I would be offfended too if someone called me a Republican.

Some MAGA dude tried to follow me yesterday.

@hhardy01 I haven't run into any MAGA guys on Mastodon luckily. I've been running away from bird site largely because of that.

@minego

I apparently woke up in snark mode, because I already had in mind my first toots of the morning:

Q. Whats the national anthem of Saudi Arabia?

A. "Onward Christian Soldiers"

---and---

Golden showers
Bring Reds to Power

A said to myself I gotta put those on Mastodon and ran-shuffled to the computer before I took a piss or made coffee. Then I made ginger lemon tea instead because I thought maybe I am stimulated enough due to whatever I was dreaming. :)

@minego (Really though, I think most people aren't great at interpreting facial expressions as neutral and err on the side of negative when describing them, for various reasons.)

@erinbee Well lately it seems to me that I only have neutral. I'm always subtle...

@minego "Resting grouch face." I come off that way to some people.
