Verb for facial expression (lips) Hi all! I'm looking for a very particular verb describing a facial expression where one side of the upper lip is moved up to the side? I've read the definition somewhere but forgot the verb in question.

Jerry thank you very much for this precision! I think it is indeed "sneer" I was looking for judging from the picture on google.
