To Mountain: deadpan

[Rock]

Hey, pal, the word you mentioned yesterday, deadpan, is really a useful word. I checked the definition.

Deadpan humour is when you appear to be serious and are hiding the fact that you are joking or teasing someone.
She looked up, completely deadpan.
looking or seeming serious when you are telling a joke: a deadpan expression/voice

However, expressionless (adj.) and poker face (n.) are also right.
Now I've got three different ways to say it, and just before yesterday, I had none. Amazing! Althought I'm quite happy now, I still want to looked deadpan, expressionless, and showing a poker face.
(??? Is this a right way to say it?)

Hi Rock,
I'm glad I can be helpful one time when you teach me new vocabulary most of the times.

Wow...I didn't know this word until now

So, deadpan humor is something like "冷面笑匠" , right?

By the way, we learned from Angie yesterday that "冷戰" is "silent treatment"

"Cold War" only means the war between US and USSR before

To MT,


To MK,
冷面笑匠??? A deadpan joke teller?

How about "straight face"?

Also, when talking about someone who is expressionless, there is a word "blank". Here are two examples from dictionaries:
Ex.: There was a blank look on his face.
Ex.: She stared at me with a blank expression on her face. / She gave me a blank stare.
