(n.) an expression of the mouth - a combination of a smirk and a smile - showing contentment, competence, restraint, and skepticism, all at the same time.
Man silence is what we call a pause amongst men. It’s not awkward. It’s a mutual agreement among men that sitting in silence with each other is not only acceptable, but encouraged.
