A Cat Giving its Servant ‘Side Eye’

 

 

 

 

 

집사를 흘겨보는 저 고양이 엄청 귀엽군요.

The cat giving its servant side eye is very cute.

'Giving someone side eye' means looking/glancing at them out of the corner of your eye, often with a skeptical or disapproving expression. It’s a subtle way of expressing doubt or suspicion through nonverbal cues. You can say 'Looking/Glancing at someone out of the corner of your eye' instead of 'Giving someone side eye.'

 

Nonverbal cues refer to communication signals that are expressed without using words. These cues can include facial expressions, gestures, posture, tone of voice, eye contact, and other body language. Nonverbal cues play a significant role in interpersonal communication, often conveying emotions, attitudes, intentions, and social dynamics. They can complement or contradict verbal messages, adding depth and nuance to interactions.
