" &amp;quot;You could smile once in a while,&amp;quot; a TSA airport agent said to me once when I handed him my passport\u2014officially marking the first time I&amp;#039;d been called out for Bitchy Resting Face. (See also: Stewart, Kristen.) According to plastic surgeon Anthony Youn, M.D., BRF is a legit thing that occurs when you&amp;#039;re going about your regs business without realizing you&amp;#039;re serving up major Regina George face (or, as Youn politely puts it, looking &amp;quot;thoughtfully sad or angry for no reason.&amp;quot;) A slight frown, a dip of the brow\u2014all little things we don&amp;#039;t notice that &amp;quot;add together to make us look grumpy, mean, and even, yes, bitchy when we don&amp;#039;t mean,&amp;quot; Youn said to Today earlier this week. The genius term BRF was coined by comedian and journalist Taylor Orci, who told Today that her now-boyfriend avoided her for a year before they started dating because she was always scowling. Ha! &amp;quot;People have been telling me to smile my whole life,&amp;quot; Orci says, prompting her to create the fake PSA &amp;quot;Bitchy Resting Face&amp;quot; for YouTube, which quickly racked up over two million hits. Clearly she isn&amp;#039;t the only one afflicted with facial features known to freeze out men and frighten toddlers. Okay, now for the million dollar question: How do you bust out of your BRF rut? &amp;quot;Try to train yourself to smile,&amp;quot; says Orci. Sounds easy enough; or just make like K. Stew and make bitch face your thing. So tell us, Cosmo girls: Do random strangers tell you to smile? Are your friends constantly asking, &amp;quot;Are you mad at me?&amp;quot; Do adorable, tiny kittens melt into gummy bears at your mere glance? Share your bitch-face confessions below.
