the phelps

Michael Phelps face

A person with a menacing snarl where other people can't tell if the person is angry about something or is just intensely focused on something in their life. Also known as Phelps' face. The inspiration is Michael Phelps grimace before swimming in the 2016 Olympics. Michael Phelps, Phelps, 2016 Olympics, swimming, USA Olympic Swim Team, gold medal swimming

I was in the locker room changing and said hi to the guy sitting across from me and he looked up and gave me a Michael Phelps face and then resumed getting dressed. I wonder what stick was up his butt.
