lol, I'm afraid there's no such word in Chinese. The dictionary translation would be 噘嘴, but we seldom use it. And there's no cute feelings in it. cough"Look at that lip, gonna get it, gonna get it"cough This kind of cute feeling...

The nearest words I can think are 不高兴 and 郁闷. The former one mostly means "unhappy", you can use it if you don't want much beauty in words. The later one is a new word, used mostly by teenagers. Such as "We got a ton of homeworks today, 郁闷." or "Huge traffic jam this morning and I was late, 郁闷".

Hope it helps.

Hi - just writing to suggest an improvement: your English is great [very expressive], but there are some things you could fix. Hope you are not offended by my help.

We don't say "rolling pole"! It's a "rolling pin". A rolling pole [if it existed] would be something much much bigger, impossible to use for rolling out the dough or pastry. Like if you took a telegraph pole [40 feet long and 12 inches in diameter] or a punt-pole [12 feet long] into your kitchen to roll the dough. Your palm would hurt a lot more, and probably your whole arm!

LMAO! I should know better to trust that dictionary of mine too much.

Thank you!
