Does anyone know what I mean when I say “Spockian eyebrow lift?” Do you get a mental image?

I certainly do — both know what you mean and get a mental image.
Good. That’s good. Because it’s a facial expression I use often and like to refer to periodically in my writing. It’d be just my luck to use a writing mechanic that I find amusing and that I think illustrates a point remarkably well only to find that it flummoxes my readers. :)
Certainly do!
Question: Can you do a Spockian Eyebrow Lift with either eyebrow?
Sort of. I’m most proficient at it with my right side, but I can sort of do a Spockian eyebrow lift on the left side, as well.
I can only lift the right eyebrow separately. I can lift both eyebrows at the same time, but the left side won’t go up on its own — I’ve tried to learn it but I can’t.
Well, it takes a bit of practice and muscle-training. I couldn’t even do the right brow initially. :)
Abso-freaking-lutely!
PS I was so nerdy I actually trained myself to do it with both sides…..
Nice to know I have such educated readers. ;-)
Educated in Star Trek :-)
It took a lot of practice to do both eyebrows but once accomplished a lot of fun when you quickly switch back and forth between the two.
