The Moue

The dictionary definition of a moue is "a pouting look". It's the little twitchy lip thing ending in a smile that he does when Jameson says he's been "interrogated by professionals and he has the scars on his genitals to prove it".

I think it is a wonderfully descriptive word, the only one that exists that could possibly be used for that split-second expression that says it all.
