This is interesting. Found it in Meg's journal. Apparently, British people smile differently than American people. I tried doing the "genuine" British smile, showing my bottom teeth and lifting my cheeks so my eyes crinkle, and it's hard. Also, I look like an evil chimp...seriously toothy. Like, "I'm gonna chew your face off."

I think by showing their bottom teeth they just meant showing your teeth..cause..well, showing your bottom teeth is hard..and I think most people's real smiles are like that, crinkling your eyes, but most americans don't smile real smiles most of the time I dont think..or at least that was my take on it...cause I can't really think of people at all british or not who show specifically their bottom teeth..I wish they had links to some of the pics so we coudl understand better.

Yeah, I was wishing they'd plugged some pics as well. It's hard to show your bottom teeth when smiling. At least when you're sane.
