A quizzical look is the face you make when you do not quite get what someone means, and a little smile sits in it at the same time. It is not anger, and it is not a big laugh. It is more like, “Wait… what?” — , and finding it slightly funny. You use it about a look, a smile, an , an expression, not about a long speech. Though actually, it is a slightly word. In everyday talk people often just say “a look” or “she looked at me like I was joking.” Quizzical keeps that special mix: I do not understand, and this is a bit . It is kindly, not cruel; a quizzical look teases a little, but it does not try to hurt.
