Usually - 'If you can't say anything nice - fuck off'.

"What do you expect, I support Newcastle Utd."

FolkGirl · 01/01/2015 17:17

I look like I feel, or is that not OK?

Polite version would be a cold, hare stare with a slow eyebrow raise.

I'm practising it right now. Grin

woowoo22 · 01/01/2015 17:28

*hard stare

Ardha · 01/01/2015 17:30

I think I managed a stare & raised eyebrow.

Oh - if it is an inlaw then 'I was fine until I saw you'

"So do you", especially if they don't.
