The eyelid pull is a gesture in which the finger is used to pull one lower eyelid further down, exposing more of the eyeball.
[1][2][3] In the Italian language, one can say occhio (eye), not necessarily with the gesture, to signify the same.
[4] In France, the gesture of pulling down one's lower eyelid and saying mon œil, or "my eye", is an expression of disdainful, dismissive disbelief.
[5] Similar variations of the gesture exist in other European countries, for example Poland[6] or Turkey[citation needed].
The phrase "my eye" is an outdated expression of disbelief in the English language, although without the gesture.
