smilace

A mix between "smile" and "grimace," a smilace is the face you make when congratulating a friend on her engagement - to the the man you love; when you're handed back a test with a failing grade and a note in red teacher handwriting: "what happened?" and a frowny face; when someone says, "oh, weren't you invited?" The pained expression used when one can't cry; well familiar to teenage girls.
