Please help me paraphrase the above sentence.
What is the sense of
grimace in this context? Is it frown upon?
You grimace (make a face, pull a face) when you take nasty medicine, or suck a lemon.
In this context it conveys the meaning of frowning, expressing distress, or complaining about something.
