WTF is a “gummy smile”

I am pretty sure I’ve wanted about this before, but in case that was just in my head I’m ranting again.

In WHAT universe does “gummy smile” sound appealing?? I get totally squiked out whenever I read it and just totally ruins the scene for me.

Am I just wierd??

I mean, ok, I know I’m wierd, but am I wierd about this??

Can someone PLEASE give me an example of what a gummy smile looks like so maybe I can stop dry heaving in the middle of fan fic??

This is a public service and I greatly appreciate it!

A gummy smile is one where the lips are pulled so far back that it’s not just teeth showing, but the gums as well.

I find it weird, but a lot of people do it.

@rodiniaorzetalthepenquin I literally just made myself loose it laughing so hard standing in front of my bathroom mirror trying to see if I could smile like that…all I managed to do was look like I was in horrific pain…
