She played her face

[Lemonella]

Does anyone remember their relatives using the phrase "she played her face" which meant she dug her heels in and became awkward about a situation? I remember my Nan using this phrase and I use it myself but I think it's a rare one.

 

[A Sparks]

Yes, I know that one!
Not particularly from a family member I think but I used to hear it sometimes and know what it means.

 

[Morturn]

Yes, my dad would aftern say that too

 

[John L]

Yes, my Nan used that one too.
