Definition
怪相 refers to an odd or exaggerated facial expression, often made deliberately to amuse others or show a reaction. It's commonly used with the verb 做 (to make), as in 做怪相 ('to make a funny face'). Unlike 鬼脸 (guǐliǎn), which is more playful and childlike, 怪相 can carry a slightly negative or critical tone when describing someone's involuntary strange expression.
