Wink
The wink is an intentional facial expression made by briefly closing one or both eyes (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/wink).  To wink is to close and open either one or both eyelids with a rapid motion; to blink suggests a sleepy, dazed, or dazzled condition in which it is difficult to focus the eyes or see clearly. A wink is a form of semi-formal communication, which indicates shared, unspoken knowledge.
