This from Wikipedia:
"A gurn is a distorted facial expression, and a verb to describe the action. A typical gurn might involve projecting the lower jaw as far forward and up as possible, and covering the upper lip with the lower lip."
The World Gurning Championship is held annually in Egremont, Cumbria. Here's a photograph of the current World Champion Tommy Mattinson and his brief encounter with QEII just yesterday.
Apparently Prince Philip quipped, "Don't stay like that for too long or your face will stay like that." Pff, sure Your Royal Highness. Click here for more pictures from the 2004 championships.
