In the latest 2002 <i> FACS Manual,<\/i> AU24 is consistently referred to as \"lip pressEr.\" However, in the 1978 <i>FACS Investigator's Guide<\/i>, and in Ekman's subsequent writings (e.g. in <i>What the Face Reveals<\/i>), it is referred to as  \"lip pressOr.\" Looks like we will have to wait until the next release of the <i>FACS Manual<\/i> to settle this <i>pressing<\/i> matter.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47be8d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"47be8d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"336\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melindaozel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AU25_lips_partCheat_Sheet.png?fit=768%2C336&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-4995\" alt=\"AU25 -
