I suppose that's fair, though in this instance it seems kind of cruel.

Fun facts: the smile as something other than a reaction came out of early TV advertising. In my high school there was a hallway of yearbook photos going back decades and before the mid 50s the graduates looked like "the seriousness of leaving for a new life," while afterward they were all grinning and most had that elbow-on-knee / broken neck look.

I have some subtle facial paralysis that makes me unable to smile except as a reaction, something I have never had occasion to regret. And I feel intense derision for people who "project" with an idiotic grin.

Tangent, possibly alleviating some nausea, I doubt anyone will mind.

I can't even tell what that is. And I am not talking about "man or woman."

It's definitely male, certainly.
