I think I see this pop up every now and then, but do we have a tag for the type of facial expression seen in post #529768 and post #728140, and if not (and I'm guessing not) what could be used for it? I know I've wondered about it before but didn't remember to bring it up.

open_mouth_quiver? Nah, that sounds bad...
I'm guessing it's just a comical drawing technique for a wide open mouth, usually seen when a character is yawning, or is whining about something. I think open mouth still covers it.
Haven't seen that tagged either I guess. Rather like hints of tiredness or embarrassment.
wavy_mouth / mouth_quiver (or anything better) in conjuction with open_mouth when appropriate to cover both cases (that is, post #645248 vs post #651224) sounds nice.

Oh yeah, wasn't thinking about it right now (have in the past), but I would want it to cover the closed mouth variant like that too.
I think something that describes the shape is more intuitive, so I would go with wavy_mouth over "quiver" or "tremble". I was trying to think of colon/letter combinations as with some other anime expression tags, but the only one that would kind of work there is :s (and only really tends to only represent part of it, so maybe wavy_mouth would go better)
+1 for wavy_mouth.
I don't really think "lips" should be included in the tag name as it feels something like that should be used when they are are prominent in the image (like the lips tag itself), and I think they usually aren't with expressions like this.
Another thing I thought of on the issue of mouth shapes and expressions are images like these:
post #55822 (Akari's usual chibi expression)
post #718453
I could keep a theme going with "(shape) mouth" by calling it rectangular_mouth.
Since I want to note what I come across now, I went ahead and starting tagging wavy_mouth. We can alias if we decide on a different name for the tag.
