crow's feet

nounC1Not compared — the two pools are counted one word at a time, so a phrase has no score

Crow's feet are the fine lines that fan out from the corner of an eye. Get crow's feet, laugh lines and crow's feet.

They come from smiling and squinting, which is why they are the kindest lines to have. The name is exact, since a crow's footprint fans the same way.
