A label given by Millennials and older generations to the incredulous look that Gen Z people give them when they are asked a question that is so ridiculous that they don’t know how to reply. They go into a state of disbelief, a look that says “are you serious?” Before they either reply with the answer they assumed obvious or just simply shoo the person away if there’s nothing they can do.
Older people call this rude or stupid behavior, but honestly. It’s usually warrented
