Grimagrin

Created by: readerwriter

Pronunciation: grim-a-grin

Sentence: Hamish had no oral sensitivity. He was totally clueless, especially, when he ate spinach, brie or soft rolls, his favorites. Of course, he couldn't keep that grimagrin off his silly face. And if you happened to tell him, his standard reply (which he promptly forgot) was, "I'm saving it for dessert."

Etymology: From the French/Spanish, grima, for fright (the word grime could also be considered) + grin, as in a big smile
