Sneer.

Sneer has to do with movement of the lip. No English expression that I know for Yinmu. Smirk/Smug etc doesn't capture yinmu

Any other word apart from "yimmu" will take away the sweetness that comes with the action, so I'd rather use "yimmu" as the English word for "yimmu" and keep enjoying my yimmuing grin e.g. I yimmued at her when she said Dangote's son is her boo.

I think "grimace" and "wry" deals with twisting or turning of face or body Next person please

Close but doesn't capture the sarcasm of Yinmu, which is the objective.

Grimace is a distortion of the face ;yinmu is carrying u nose up in disapproval or sarcasm.
