      I mean, it looks like a smile, but when gorillas bear their teeth it’s an act of aggression. They also think we’re being aggressive if we bear our teeth at them (smile).

      Somebody should have explained that to her.

        You bare teeth. Unless you’re, like, carrying them with the militia?
