What does SMIRK mean in Scrabble?
verb
To smile in a smug, self-satisfied, or knowing way, often at someone else's expense.
A person who smirks is not sharing genuine amusement but showing off a private sense of superiority or secret knowledge, which is why the expression tends to irritate onlookers. The look often appears when someone has gotten away with something or is enjoying another person's discomfort. As a noun, a smirk is that particular half-smile itself, easily distinguished from an open, friendly grin.
