The Masque
What's the rebus shown by this two-sided figure?
Hint
Title is a hint. Here's another: look at the rebus as having two "sides", a "left" side and a "right" side. The two sides have OTHER names also. What are they?Answer
Crying on the Inside, Laughing on the Outside.This is a common expression meant to convey that a person, although they might be sad, depressed, morose, anxiety-ridden internally, still tries to "put on a happy face" and present, to others and the outside world, a pleasant disposition.
The two "sides" of the rebus-body are identified as the "in" side and the "out" side. The Title: "Masque" is a fancy word for "mask": that "face" we put on to hide (sometimes) our true feelings from the world.

Not only a good teaser, but a well explained answer. Keep it up.

I was thinking tragedy and comedy. I wasn't too far off. This left me smiling on both sides. Thanks froggy
i thought it was on the inside you are crying but on the outside you are crying and laughing at the same time coz you cant decide wat to do wiv the dots. [no i dont wat im goin on about either!]
that was meant to say i dont know.....

NICE BEST REBUS IVE SEEN THAT I CAN REMEMBER AND HAPPY B-Day
Thanks NK and I'm glad you liked it!
I would never have thought that in and out were titles... I like how even though you incorporated so many hints it was still difficult to figure out.
Thanks marching and I'm glad you enjoy it!
that was really cool! i think you are really creative
Thank you sambean!
I thought it was those opera mask things...where the one is happy and the other is crying...I'm stupid though...
dancinfeet - you were close as I know that mask has a smile and a frown. And, no you are not stupid. There are many teasers that I read that my mind just draws a total blank! It happens to us all!
very creative! going to my favorites..
That was really good! Definitely one of my favorites! I guess anyone who really knows the song can figure it out! Loved it!!!
Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
Nicely done
Why thank you Mr. lx! It is a really big treat when one of the higher ups leaves a comment in one of my teasers!

Thanks loves! I am glad you liked it! It seems that many also thought of the answer you did!
I got the inside/outside part, but I lost it after that.
Great one.
Great one.
mitzimesser I'm glad you liked it!
i thought it was "laugh out loud"
I have this type of personality, sadly enough.
Thanks guys. I'm glad you like it.
Don't we all, Smart Alex. Great teaser, froggy! You're doin' great. KUTGW

And I think it looks MUCH better as a graphic image. The way it should be.

...? I'm not that smart, but I don't get it.
Good one Froggy, I thought it was "Come in sad, go out happy"

Great teaser froggy! I thought it was something like "keep your worries inside your house" or something.

Thank you everyone for leaving such great comments! I'm glad you liked my sad/happy teaser.
Awesome teaser... I didn't know we could add images to our teasers.
Chill, I didn't add it, Jake did after it was approved on site.
Superb teaser!
Thank you King of Smart for such a great comment!
Very good! Only one thing...why is this in an image?
Brain23, Jake changed this to the image after it had been on site for a while. I'm glad you liked it.
Nice rebus.
