Sturgeon Face


I know that a sturgeon is some kind of fish but I didn't know it's also slang for the unfortunate turning down of the corners of the lips to signify disdain, chagrin, or pensiveness.

Here's a page full of pictures of people with sturgeon faces.

Right, I can't believe they left off Spitzer.

Good stuff! I've written about that face before, and I had no idea it had a name.

What about Joe Lieberman? I think he's a perma-sturgeon, in that he has a sturgeon face even when he's smiling.

And let's not forget Mitch McConnell. (Be sure to scroll down to the question "Who's Mitch McConnell's emotional doppelganger?")

Me also didn't know about sturgeon faces. I know that a sturgeon only a kind of sea-fish. Really happy to know this term.
