neutral  SJLD: I wouldn't rely on this dictionary for translation - would you really say "eyes rolling" rather than "eye rolling"?/I guess the difference is whether one is medically qualified or not - professional vs lay idiom/yes
3 mins
  -> I really honestly don't think that it matters. In the great scheme of things, there is no difference apart from pluralising eye which I have done /// Are you a doctor then?
